David,

David, in MS 8.0 EOD you always can have a delay of one day and in the Explorer
you can always load a group of stocks.

In the new MS 8.0 system tester, in a simulation, after you selected securities,
you click on NEXT and you have SYSTEM TESTING OPTIONS. You click on MORE button
and now you select TRADE EXECUTION. You check the box REALISTIC MARKET PRICES
and any triggered order executes at the open of the next bar.

And for the Explorer, when you want to run an exploration, you click on EXPLORE
button, and ADD SECURITIES button. You make your choices -  to load a group of
stocks you click on the first one and you press SHIFT and click on the last one
and OPEN. You can now save your list on the favorite folder if you want to take
the same group another time. To load the same group another time, you will find
these stocks in the group saved under FAVORITES. You than click on the first one
and you press SHIFT and click on the last one and OPEN to load the same group of
stocks.
