Dick, "Window-New" solution is the mainstream approach while "PlotForeign" approach is for AmiBroker geeks. In my PlotForeign code I included Foreign Ticker parameter which allows to quickly change the ticker from the right click menu (r-click - parameters) so that you never have to touch the code itself.
Using PlotForeign solution you can put different tickers into chart sheets (tabs at the bottom of the chart window) normally used by indicators. This might make sense as in many cases those tabs are just idling empty.
