Somebody suggested that I write a manual for AB, but if I could do 
that, I wouldn't be asking for it.  Here is my suggestion for a 
quick way to do it: take the MetaStock Formula Primer, which is 
widely regarded as being pretty good, replace all the code with 
AmiBroker code, add a chapter about arrays vs loops, and put it out 
here for comments and fine-tuning.  That would take an AmiBroker 
programmer 2 days, tops. As it would be offered for free, copyright 
issues with MetaStock don't apply. It would be the best 2 days work 
on AmiBroker ever, because it would open AB up to many more people 
who are having difficulty learning to program it, and I know there 
are many of us.
