Nichlos,
Create a layout. After you have the screen the way you want it, click
on "File", "New", "Layout", "Add All", and "OK" in that order. When you get
ready to close the chart it will ask you if you want to save your layout.
Say yes and give it a representative name. To open the layout use the open
command and change the chart type to layout.

Subject: Copying Base Security to Additional Inner Windows
> Please advise on the following problem.....

> BACKGROUND: I wanted to set up a template clearly showing Bollinger Bands

inner

original
