Thanks I did do that in this manner.
1) downloaded data from Standard & Poor's as a XLS file and then saved it.
2) Modified that file so the first column showed the symbols and the second
column shows the
corresponding names associated with the symbols.
3) Saved the changed XLS file as a file with a CSV extension.
4) In windows explorer I renamed that file of three as a file with a LST
extension and saved
half as SP500a in the LISTS folder of the QP folders group. The latter
half was then saved in
an similar manner.
5) This allowed me to accomplish in two operations to transfer each of two
groups stocks (250
each) to Metastock.
Note this file can be read as a text file and be edited for the frequent
changes made in the
SP500 group. I believe they call this a comma delimited file.

John:
Janene at QP tech support can help you.
What you do is select the S&P500 and save it as a list.
then export the list to metastock\data, use the option to export to multiple
directories. this will export the tickers to S&P5001 and S&P5002.
Lastly enter these two folders in QP under the "automatically updated
folders"
