Hi PS,

No joy.  Here is the file I'm scanning:

_SECTION_BEGIN("Multi Time");
x = Foreign("~MACD"+Name(),"C"); 

Plot( x, "MTMACD", colorBlue , styleThick ) ; 

PlotGrid(0.5 ); 
PlotGrid(-0.5);

Buy = 0;
Sell = 0;

_SECTION_END();

This runs through its routine, but the plot does not change, and the
~ticker files still have a November 17 date.  (Settings: 1 minute,
all symbols, all quotations)
