Oops again...
I noticed in the manual a reference to results from functions, so I'll have
to test this out as well.
So far, I've coded in all of the revisions and tried the TAS calculations
and have received a Mult error. Will now check out all intermediate
calculations. I have to admit that I find the new coding structure easier
to use than the Polish notation approach of the DOS version. At least here
I'm able to do some semblance of programming. :)

Oops! I was in too much of a hurry with my last posting on this subject. I
already knew this, but for some reason had a brain spasm or something, but
you can't use Ref(U1,-1). That's incorrect. The Ref function ONLY
references one of MetaStock's standard data arrays like C, O, H, L. I got
caught in this way back in the DOS days when I originally tried to use this
to accomplish this same thing years ago. How time does fly when you're
having fun.
The correct syntax is PREV (page 212 - Self-referencing formulas). This
theoretically gives you access to the previous day's value. We'll see.
