Like the Downloader produces sub-directories in the common-directory
(DL60-manual p.36) when it converts data.
Some programs are able to work with sub-folders as if they are one
with the common-directory.
DL60 p.43-Create New Folder Button:
-the common-folder is supposed NOT to contain data, otherwise it is
a "nested" data-folder in a data-folder.
This is why I only suggested it, I cannot say it will work as I did not
have to do it as yet.

I don't keep composites in my main data folders, the MS-Explorer will
come up with errors (MS60-manual p.339) or not too reliable reports if
it comes across a composite(a composite is nothing more than a link
between two securities(DL60 p.36 upto 41)) in the folder to be explored,
and it will be ignored.

If you want to do a RS-comparissing between an index and your securities
for performance, then keep the index in the "same" folder, run the explorer
do a performance-scan(MS60 p.339). Then in the report-window with the
sort-button you can "automatically" rank your securities and see wich one
performed better than the other(remember that it is NOT a buy-signal, by itself).
