By the way, here is where I am going with this. I have one formula that
pulls data (using an plug-in I wrote using the MetaStock MDK) from an
external database of statistics generated by another program. Here's the
formula:
ExtFml( "MasterDATA_MSX.Composite", SMH, advances, D)
This pulls daily advancing issues for the Semiconductor ETF (SMH) from the
database. It gives the number of advancing issues in SMH similar to the
ones published for the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ composites.
If I can find something similar to "input" that works for strings, I can
eliminate a lot of Custom Indicators and just use one generic indicator.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Input function
The input function works with numbers. For example:
maperiods:= input("Enter periods",1,39,10); mov(close,maperiods,simple);
Is there anything comparable for strings (i.e.. letters)? In other words,
if I want my custom indicator to ask the user for a stock symbol (or any
other string), is there any way to accomplish that? I looked through the
help files and learned a lot about the input function, but found nothing
similar for strings.
