The question I read was about "how to calculate the Stdev of Bollinger
Bands". Having been through the process of needing and working out the
underlying calculation, as opposed to the canned version syntax, I made the
possibly wrong assumption that Keith also wanted the same information. I
guess it depends on what question Keith was really asking.
