Don't you have to download data from the Yahoo site?
With or without using the toybox?
What makes it then different to Excel's webqueries?
What makes it then different to a fully automated Open with Excel + Paste to or Convert in Downloader
and Open in MetaStock job?
And where Excel is a true usefull full program...............eg truely your money's worth.

In MSK it will still require an user Open command, wether manual or automated (by a program or your script/VBA).

Naturaly and so do scripts.
And another advantage using scripts is, that the more you make use of scripts, the more experienced
you'll get in doing so, much like the MSK Formula lango.

Yep. The only limitations are that Paste Links are not plotable in Bars. Therefore
using OHLC will require 4 links.
But from an Excel workbook or from Word, you can Paste Links just about endlessly, eg about as much
as a MSK Layout and your sources(i.e. MEM) can hold. And that <honoustly> is a LOT !!!!!!!!
Using the Scroll Folder Function(buttons) in MSK will make the mentioned methods to your likings.
Especialy, the ScriptIT program one should not fear to get aquinted with (short learning curve, and maximum
results, since it can be used anywhere in Windows).
