Intraday Security in MS 6.5

[Guy Ricci <gricci@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I've run into a problem that I can't figure out that I'm sure someone can
help me with...

Using the Downloader's convert function, I imported ASCII data in the
format listed below and created a Metastock formatted file, but it does
not show up in the list of securities when I do a File Open.  It's as if
Metastock 6.5 doesn't recognize it as a valid security.

If I go into the Downloader I can not only see it, I can also edit the
fields which look normal to me.

If I go into Metastock 4.5, it shows up on the list of securities with an
indication "I" (for intraday I suppose), but gives an error when I try to
open it something to the effect, "This version of Metastock does not
handle intraday data. 

Thanks for your help.

Guy
