[amibroker] Explorations, Backtests, and Backtest Reports inquiry....

I've searched for info on the following questions, but haven't found 
anything definitive.  Can anyone here address these and/or direct me 
to threads that may have already answered them?....

1.  Is there a direct way to code a single AFL file to run a system 
Backtest on individual stocks, and then use the results generated for 
each stock (such as CAR and MaxDD, etc, in a 'Filter' statement), to 
generate an Exploration to select out only those stocks that meet 
the 'filter' condition (for possibly creating a new watchlist)?  I 
imagine this can be done using automation scripts of sequential 
processes of 1) backtest, then 2) output results report into a 'csv' 
file, and then 3) post-process the csv file using VisualBasic or 
something like that, but this seems less 'elegant' than doing all in 
a single AFL if possible. 

2.  Is there a way to change the new backtester Report format to:

  a) re-order the displayed columns?

  b) re-label the column headings (so as to make columns narrower, 
yet still be able to identify column contents --- e.g., 'Maximum 
Drawdown%' uses 17 characters, yet the values don't exceed 7 chars, 
so I might label the column as 'MxDD%' and set the DEFAULT column 
width to 8 chars, say)?, and

  c) eliminate or suppress the display of columns NOT desired?

and PERMANENTLY 'SAVE' these alterations as a DEFAULT report format 
for backtesting?  In other words, is it possible to 'customize' the 
DISPLAY of the report columns in a permanent 'default' manner?

Thanks for help and/or info regarding these issues....
