Lionel,
Worthwhile to monitor the SI QPlus thread -- don't have to join to lurk.

Re the data download, it isn't really as that much a Telescan [or Dial/Data
problem; it's the handshakes [please send me AA for these dates and AAPL for
those dates] that kill you -- all at once as per QP or WB is the only way
that makes sense IMO.

Guys:
After the July 4th weekend snafu downloading data at less than 5% of the
normal speed, I got completely fed up with Telescan. Following the
recommendations on this listserver, I switched to Quotes Plus 2. Its 1/2
the price, the data is cleaner, and I dont have to pay for searches (called
scans). It seems to work well with ms. While I'm still learning how to use
the program, it has interesting capabilities that might overcome some of the
limitations of ms.
The downside is that the hard copy manual is quite skimpy, the online help
is good, but you have to do a bit of searching to find it all. The program
consist of several independent modules, unlike ms where everything is
accessible from the main metastock window.
