Jim,
That's a snap with QuotesPlus, which many use as their data provider.
Just do a quick edit from the S&P to get each whole list as
AAPL
ASND
.
.
or
AAPL, Apple Comp...
ASND, Ascend Comm..
.
.
and feed that list to the Q+ to Mstk output.

Bob

Subject: Maintaining Updated Indexes


I track about 3000 symbols and I keep them organized by indexes, i.e. SP
400, 500, and 600.  Every month or so I go out to the SP index webpage and
check to see what stocks were added and what were dropped from the index.
I write down the changes then go into Metastock and manually type in and
make those changes.  The task can be a whole days work and I find it very
tedious.  Is there a way I can download a updated list and import into
Metastock?  Or is there a software that can perform or ease this task for
me?  If there is any other ideas that could help me I would gladly here
them...
