Claud,

I'm wondering, do you export separately to each metastock directory 
or is there some way to export to multiple metastock directories?
Do you keep separate watchlists for each directory as well? I'm new 
to TC2000 though I've had been using quotesplus with metastock for 
many years. Thanks.
