[amibroker] Re: How do I update my ticker list?

["wernkra" <WKRAG@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alan,

thanks for your comments. 
I did what you proposed.
I got that far: Yes, I found the watchlist and AmiQuote opened. 
Unfortunately I can not save a whole "new file" (which I have in ASCII as a separate file) in AQ. It only gives me the option to type in the new symbols one by one (comma separated). Since I have a lot of symbols that would be very tedious. 

There must be a better way, to just delete the old watchlist and replace it with the new one I have in ASCII.
