[amibroker] Re: Ongoing problem with black chart panes in saved Layouts. Help!

That worked! All set now. A related question if I may: 

How do I safely delete an indicator from the AFL folder?  I use the 
Formula Editor File Open window to Delete-button afl files from 
there, but this is probably where I messed up.

Also, can I use Win Explorer to safely move afl files, like from the 
AFL folder to the Formulas folder? Is moving everything to the 
Formulas folder in general a good idea? (I don't use Drag&Drop
nor the Chart Tree so I don't miss'm there.)
