Thank you Graham for the tip.  However I got impatient and decided to
write it myself.  Since I wanted to be able to call it from various
places I made it a Function. 

So as pennance for my sin of clogging the forum with spurious requests
, Here is the function.  

function ATREH ( FO, FH, FL, FC, Pers ) 
{
	global ATRVal, HL, PCH, PCL, HiHi; 
	HL = FH - FL ; PCH = abs(Ref(FC, -1) - FH) ;  PCL = abs(Ref(FC, -1) -
FL) ;
	EMAPrc   = (FO + FH + FL + FC ) / 4 ;
	EMA50    = EMA(EMAPrc, 50 ) ; 
	HLHigh   = IIf(HL > PCH AND HL >  PCL,  HL, -1 );
	PCHHigh  = IIf(PCH > HL AND PCH > PCL, PCH, -1 );
	PCLHigh  = IIf(PCL > HL AND PCL > PCH, PCL, -1 );
	HiHi     = IIf(HLHigh >= 0, HLHigh, IIf(PCHHigh >= 0, PCHHigh,
IIf(PCLHigh >= 0, PCLHigh, 0 )));
	ATRVal   = 100 * MA(HiHi, Pers) / EMA50 ;
}

Which can be called by 

ATREH ( XLEOpen, XLEHigh, XLELow, XLEClose, ATRPers ) ;

the result (in percent) is the ATRVal, which is passed out as a global
variable.

Sorry,
