Mike 
Thanks for the heads up on Prophet. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow 
[Monday] The 1st 30 days are free so at least I'm not a paying customer, yet. 
I looked at qp2 thanks for the suggestion. I have been hoping to find futures 
and futures option data. Unfortunately qp2 does not have futures option data. 
I had no idea it was going to be difficult to get started at charting!  
Thanks for the response.

 about the service absolutely sucked - and that's being charitablean --
 downloads took forever, never completed without error, and their attitude
 (particularly form a sales/support person named Brenda) was that I must be
 doing it wrong.  Additionally, I tried their option quotes, and the prices
 were off by a factor of 10X or 100X; again they tried to blame me, or
 Metastock, and the problem was escalated to the president of the
 organization, but never resolved.  Presumably, a year downstream, they
 should have cleaned things up.  But, if any of this sounds familiar, you're
 obviously running into the same problem.  My suggestion is to cut your
 losses.
 
 I switched to QuotesPlus (www.qp2.com), and have been delighted ever since.
 Two minute downloads without incident.  Outstanding customer support.  Never
 looked back.  Hope this helped.
