MY FIRST POST WAS NOT COMPLETE, Ron D
 
JamesJunkmail of our Dallas AmibrokerNT board was kind enough to post the below  instructions for setting up the new YahooHemscott sectors and industries. 
 
 I successfully  got to the place that said >>The Windows Script Host window will display Script Started.
Click OK. WHEN I CLICKED OK, it told me that it could not find the filepath >>C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\Scripts\ImportIndustryTickers.js.
There were no errors in the filepath, but I reinstalled the filepath again anyway, and I still get the runtime error of NO FILEPATH. 
All of these steps seemed to be working  perfectly when I did the procedure.
If any of you decide to try doing this also, I would appreciate hearing what you think I am doing wrong.  You might want to rewrite the procedure geared to computer users who posess a very low level of computer skills. Thanks, Ron D
