Fred,
There´s a good shareware program at www.download.com called "Personal Stock Monitor".
You can configure it to download historical data from various providers (including yahoo) and export the data to Metastock ASCII format.
Then you can use downloader to do the rest.
Best regards,
Javier.

Wlater,
I don't get it!
I've sent you a couple of pieces of the beginning of an approach using
Excel and web queries just as you suggested. Its not the full solution
but it is a beginning, yet you seem to have not even tried any of the
things I've sent you.
Are you waiting for someone to just write this for you?
Dale
