[amibroker] Re: Corr Matrix via Gfx functions

Ouch, if that is not a slap in the face for contributing code (with 
explanation of how NOT to use it), I don't know what is.

Guess it was my last one.

pane. AB just stops. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the 
use of "CategoryGetSymbols" function. According to help, it is 
looking for watchlists 0 to 63. I have deleted the original 0 - 63 
watchlists and replaced them with new ones that are 0-75. Could not 
using the original watchlists cause this problem?
