Sorry Lionel, but it does! Best way to import data is when it follows the
following format, also know as Metastock ".prn"-format:


<ticker>,<date>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<volume>
NDX,05/07/01,1924.6800,1948.0200,1889.8000,1895.4100,0
DJI,05/07/01,10952.3000,10995.3000,10893.6000,10935.2000,0
SP500,05/01/01,1249.4600,1266.4700,1243.5500,1266.4400,0


To Peter:

Try to import the quotes above. Does it still crash ?
