[amibroker] Re: once again, this AFL fights you every step of the way. Sorry, this is a badl

["zebdez" <robduff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I find the documentation to read just fine. Programming in an array 
based system is definitely different than a "bar" based system. In 
AFL I have found that most variables are arrays unless you program 
your system to explicitly work bar-by-bar in a loop. I have done both 
with AmiBroker and find it to an excellent platform.
