I have been doing it indirectly ... but maybe there is a better way. I
cut and paste the ticker column, from Excel, into Microsoft Word, then
convert the single columned table to text delimited by a ";". I then
cut and paste the colon delimited data into MetaStockby clicking on
"File/New/Secuity", selecting the folder I want to add the symbols to,
and clicking on "Look-up". I then paste the formentioned colon
delimited text.

This only seems to accept about 30 symbols at a time, and must be
repeated if there are more than 30. As I said, there is hopefully a
better, more direct way of doing this.
