Michael,
Well said!
I am convinced that with the C++ abilities of MetaStock and the excellent
graphics, everyone is very well served. Visual Basic is not that far from
EasyLanguage, with the exception of numerous built in functions that a user
would have to create. This too would be easy to swap back and forth and
quickly amass a very powerful preprogrammed library of functions.
The real advantage of EasyLanguage, at least IMO, is that so many use it and
.ela's are easy to share with others. But for the same time investment to
really learn EL, someone could learn VB or some similar language. Even
developing a working knowledge of C++.

"The only way to use complex indicators in MS is to have them built into the
program. MS would be a very powerful program if it had a more functional
"formula language". Something like visual basic or a subset of C++ or
visual C would do it."
MS has a the ability to build anything through the DLL function and MSX
add-on. Why do you need a subset of C++ when you can use full C++, Delphi,
or any other DLL capable lanquage to build anything you want? You could
even build a separate program that uses MetaStock Data and builds the Price
by Volume that's being talked about in a separate window.
I think the people who are complaining about the MS formula language want
something that does not exist anywhere. They want the easy to use, simple
function commands to do incredibly complex stuff. If you want complex stuff
it takes a complex programming language. If you want ease of use, then you
want a simple set of function commands. MS has both. So I don't know what
people are complaining about.
