Harold,
Thank you for your random act of kindness.
One way to get one's hands around the Metastock monster is by doing small,
repeatable tasks, and advancing through the various tools and
functions.
Doug

basic questions (actually, isn't that what a user group is for?) but
rather 1) little Peyton Place frolics-avec-detours such as asking someone
if she is single and how old and then generating a slew of missives on the
propriety vel non of such discussions and 2) somebody deciding to become

(proudly) newby question. Can Metastock be used efficiently for some
basic stock screening projects, such as alerting me to every one of 2,000

each and every day? I don't know exactly how this is done, but I
think it must work off my creating a special alert on the Explorer and
then running Explorer every day after the close?> > Is there
