try this:
 
Settings:
all stocks
n last quotations
n=5
explore

Buy=Cross(Close,MA(Close,50));

Sell=0;

Filter=Buy > 0;

AddColumn(ValueWhen(Buy,Close),"buy_close");//gives close on "buy" date

AddColumn(LastValue(Close),"close");//last close

Thanks to Anthony Faragasso, Barry Scarborough & Graham for their
replys to my question.  Unfortunately, I didn't state my question
properly or I'm still missing something.

I want to run the Explore for say, the last 5 days with Filter=Buy
(I'm just interested in stocks meeting the buy criteria, thus no
filter=1 which picks up everything)
and then see the close price today for stocks that might have been
selected 5 days ago. 

As an example, if I use Anthony's code below (with filter=buy) the
first selection it picks up is A (Agilent) which triggered a buy on
10-31-05  Both of the close columns below give a close of 32.01
which was correct for 10-31-05 but I'm really looking for the close
on 11-4-05 (which was 32.8).  So, how do I use the filter=buy
statement and get the latest EOD close??? I'm using AB 4.7 with QP2
EOD data, if it makes any difference.

Thanks again for any help-sorry to be bugging everyone for what is
probably a super trivial question/solution.
