Re Formula help and Point and Figure

I am trying to work out a way of doing some system tests in metastock,
based around point and figure charting, (using x for up columns and o for
down columns).I realise that this will sound like a no-brainer to most of
you.

1.  My rules are that the system will go short at top of column of noughts,
and go long at bottom of column of  x s, so we are always in the market. We
assume the normal P and F rules, that we may only plot in one direction in
any one day, so we can only reverse into a new column if we have not
plotted that day in the old column.

2. I need to access the metastock code that holds the input parameters for
box size and reversal amounts, and also the value of the last box plotted.
I have called them BOX and REV, and LAST.

3. So my go short rule, given these parameters might be;
enter short:
	H<(LAST +BOX) AND L =<(LAST -(BOX*REV))
Any ideas on where I can get this code from, or does anyone know who might
have done this thing before? I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Thanks.
