Interesting.
If you don't find a more obvious way, you could have your JScript get at the value by having the OLE object first run a scan on an AFL script like the following (untested, assumes scan on current symbol for last 1 bars):
Buy = Sell = 0;
watchListNum = CategoryFind("My List Name", categoryWatchList);
fh = fopen("c:\\temp\\listnum.txt", "w");
if (fh) {
fputs("" + watchListNum, fh);
fclose(fh);
}
Then have your JScript read from the file to get your filter value before running what you really wanted to run in the first place.
