Lionel

Many thanks for the response....Lionel I had a initial discussions 
with Equis...and was told at that time that many suggestions 
received, would be taken on board during next release....well we 
have one now and P & F remains the same...So i am now going to take 
it up with them seriously....even if it means meeting them 
personally during my visit to states...

It is a real shame that Metastock has potential to be a good 
programme covering may aspects...however as it has been said before 
that Metastock is written by programmers and not traders...i agree...

Must keep pestering them...

regards

anil
