<DIV><FONT size=2>The following are 3 very urgent questions!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Can you please reply ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>1. Question that was recenty raised in my
19991104-mail to you, Equis Support, with </STRONG></FONT><FONT
size=2><STRONG>subject:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> "Re: Increasing the MetaStock(R)
Formula Language with MetaStock 7", which</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> up till now, unfortunately, is
still left unanswered (by your Support Dep.).</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> Things that you cannot do with an MSX DLL
include:<BR>> * GUI functions including plotting and user dialogs.<BR>> *
Access the standard MetaStock built-in functions from within your
DLL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"For accessing the above functionalities, wich are most
intresting to users in/for </FONT><FONT size=2>their
automation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>+programming efforts on program's 'daily usage'
functionalities and of which most of these are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>held in dll, ocx or com files and for which most are also
commonly shipped with any other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>applications/programs and which access is therefore also
usualy provided for free by most</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>software-makers, eg via their program's being (VB) Visual
Basic-compatable, you can...............</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>...................................................................................................................................".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The above was missing in your excellent explanation briefing
(at the finishing end) on the new</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>in MSK v7 included MSDK's "MSX-API"-functionality extension
feature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hope this time around you can finish it, by providing us the
"missing dotted" line(s) at the above end!.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>2. Why do the MetaStock and Downloader programs on
'Run' do not have any</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> command line Switches/Parameters ?
</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many programs have switches/parameters added to their command
lines, that can be used</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>by </FONT><FONT size=2>user to run/open the program with/on
certain conditions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For example adding an /E switch/parameter to the standard
MSK command line <FONT size=2>could then</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>enable user to open up with the MSK's
Explorer :</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe /E</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>or an /S to open up with the MSK's SystemTest :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe /S</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>or for the DLR's Convert Tool for the daily file updates :</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Dlwin\dlwin.exe /C</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I usualy work with Layouts so I won't go further in to the fact that
Charts+Layouts can be</DIV>
<DIV>opened directly from the (Run) command line :</DIV>
<DIV>
C:\Equis\Mswin\Charts\MyChart.mwc</DIV>
<DIV>or the equivelant :</DIV>
<DIV>
"C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe C:\Equis\Mswin\Charts\MyChart.mwc"</DIV>
<DIV>will both open the Chart named MyChart in the Charts folder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But advanced programs do also have advanced command-line procedures
(switches and parameters)</DIV>
<DIV>to directly open a program with a by user desired Tool (a sub
program).</DIV>
<DIV>These via parameters and switches (common in most PC programs)
advanced commands procedures</DIV>
<DIV>are up till now not been added/available. They are not available to
user :</DIV>
<DIV>neither for the stand-alone MSK program and not for the covered DLR
program.</DIV>
<DIV></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>3. Tho slightly cosmetic of nature, is this
question: are MSK/DLR also EURO (€) Compatible ? </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Refering to your previous mailings/billboard
announcements, in which you stated that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the MetaStock/Downloader </FONT><FONT size=2>programs are €URO
ready, and with the excellent new version</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>of the AutoIt program being </FONT><FONT size=2>capable
</FONT><FONT size=2>to add(send) the ASCII-codes(characters) to
</FONT><FONT size=2>a security's Name field</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>----------</FONT><FONT size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"like when using using the ALT key </FONT><FONT size=2>and the
numeric </FONT><FONT size=2>keypad </FONT><FONT size=2>(e.g. ALT+65 = 'A' or
ALT+0128 = '€' or ALT+0165 = ' ')"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>----------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and </FONT><FONT size=2>have </FONT><FONT size=2>noticed
</FONT><FONT size=2>that once one </FONT><FONT size=2>of the ASCII (via
ALT+Numblock) </FONT><FONT size=2>characters is required, the
Downloader</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>will reflect and </FONT><FONT size=2>produce </FONT><FONT
size=2>the sign correctly, but that </FONT><FONT
size=2>the MSK/DLR-programs will not ever produce</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the € sign, let alone </FONT><FONT size=2>correctly.
</FONT><FONT size=2>All that can be seen is a single fat Bold vertical bar.
</FONT><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>As you can see above,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>h</FONT><FONT size=2>ere </FONT><FONT size=2>on
</FONT><FONT size=2>my PC and for in </FONT><FONT size=2>this</FONT><FONT
size=2> at the moment used </FONT><FONT size=2>Outlook Express </FONT><FONT
size=2>mail-program, </FONT><FONT size=2>the € sign does
come</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>up very nicely. <FONT size=2>It will also work
very well and come up nicely </FONT><FONT size=2>in all </FONT><FONT
size=2>of the other € sign-compatible programs.</FONT></DIV></FONT></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>From me here typing these charcters into this mail, you can
</FONT><FONT size=2>notice </FONT><FONT size=2>that my keyboard's
numeric</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>keypad-</FONT><FONT size=2>functionality and the input +
procedure </FONT><FONT size=2>(see "ALT+" above) are here working
perfectly, eg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>upose </FONT><FONT size=2>to the fat 'bar' produced in MSK's
or DLR's Name fields (see inserted gif below).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, </FONT><FONT size=2>thus not within </FONT><FONT
size=2>the Downloader v7.0 and </FONT><FONT size=2>not within the
Metastock v6.52 programs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To test for the EURO (€) sign Compatibility - using the
"ALT+0128" procedure:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> -in MetaStock: create a New Custom
Indicator and send above code to its Name field.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> -in the Downloader: create a New Security
and send above code to its Name field.</FONT></DIV>
