Yep. That's what I did also. There is always
another way to Rome. But that's not how I want it to work. SetForeign
has the Symbol characteristics and therefore knows the number of
elements and therefore should be able to resize the array ... Same for
Foreign ... I am missing something ...

Hi - I don't believe SetForeign resizes the arrays,
I think it just
overwrites the contents. I ran into that in the
past, I think what I did
was to set the current ticker to an index or
something with a very long
history and then search for the first non-null
value. Might want to do a
quick plot of the foreign values though just to be
sure...
