Thks again, Dusant, for your responsiveness and willing to help. I do
not want to use Peak() or Trough(), and I know, given 2 data points,
how to code to plot a line connecting the 2. The ONLY (and real)
problem is, as I have explained in my previous note, how to access
the values for those 2 data points, as they are ahead of the actual
bar...
