Harry,
Use the "FML" function to reference existing formulas or in your case
set periods/variables.
Make an indicator and call it Periods. Set the periods as you wish.
Then in the explorer you can call that number by using fml(Periods).
This is discussed in the owners manual.

wanted to use. Is there such a screen in Metastock? It appears that
if I want to run an Explore with an assigned variable, that I must
remember that one exists, Edit that specific exploration, and change
the assigned variable inside the exploration.
