Yes it certainly can. Go to the tab 'Settings', then the tab 'Export
format'. Fill out as follows:
Header line: <TICKER>,<DTYYMMDD>,<HIGH>,<LOW>,<CLOSE>,<VOL>,<OPEN>
Extension: .prn
Date format: align tis with the International Settings of your computer (as
this is how MetaStock reads it)
Field separator: This should also be the same as your international
settings
Max symbol length: 14
Symbol: first position
Synoniem: keep empty
Date: 2nd
Open: 7th
High: 3rd
Low: 4th
Close: 5th
Volume: 6th
Click back on tab 'Stock', select a list ([Watch] is default, you can also
select [All] with no filter if you want)
Then click button 'Export All'. Select 'Userdefined format', click 'Export
to a single file' and anything else you find relevant.
This is a one-time only set up. With the tab 'Settings', 'Daily Export',
you can set StockBrowser up to export certain lists each time you do an
update.
Hope this is enough for you!

Can Stockbrowser downloaded info be exported into Metastock?
If so, Please explain how.
