-----------------------------------
Exploration Options (Explorer's general settings):
      Data Loading:                LOAD                                min. 300 records
                                                                                         (standard best set to 750 records)
      Securities:                      ALWAYS PROMPT..       Enabled
      Reporting:                       NOTIFY WHEN...             Enabled
-----------------------------------
Exploration Options (Per Scan specific settings):
      Exploration Date:           Most Recent Date 
      Exploration Periodicity: Daily
      Use Filter:                       Enabled
-----------------------------------
ColA:  {Close} C
ColB:  {52wk High} HighestSince(1, (DayOfMonth()=08  AND Month()=05
                                 AND Year()=1998), H)
ColC:  {52wk Low} LowestSince(1, (DayOfMonth()=08 AND Month()=05 AND
                                 Year()=1998), L)

Filter: ((ColA >= (0.9*(ColB))) AND (ColB >= (2*ColC)))

Note that I have deleted the " ; " semi-colon character right at the end of each
column's line, as that character (and the input function in general) at that place
in the line will not function (eg the input function will fall back to its default value
and the semi-colon will be omitted, has no function here).
------------------------------------
Report Options:
SORT use the Scan-reports' Ranking ability
            -by Clicking on a columns' top bar or
            -use the SORT-button for Ranking
-----------------------------------


The above Filter works here fine as well. The Hang Seng Index and Philips among
some others, were picked out today (05161999) .

So far and also that I know of, to ommit having to manualy input the date each
time for each new scanning-day, i.e. each new working-day that you want to run
the scan for, there is this Filter also available in MetaStock, that you can use
to scan for :

Filter:  C>(0.9*HHV(H,240)) AND C>(2*LLV(L,240))
            {where out of 365 days in a year, the 240 periods are
            representing the Exchange-working days, uppose to
            125 Exchange-holidays(weekends+national holidays)}
