Roy and Preston,
Roy - Thanks v much for pointing me to Mark Pyle's work and Metastock DLL's
in general. I'll certainly take a look.
Preston, you're right...my solution so far has been to create a number of
custom indicators with all the variables pre-set. I was just wondering
whether there was a more elegant solution.
Thank you both for your input.

Roy,
Thanks for the input.
Crom,
The capabilities exist but do require work on your part and as Roy pointed
out, the potential for garbage if you don't set it up correctly is high.
Let me also point out that Roy has a great talent for utilizing the
Metastock utilities in ways that the developers never dreamed of. If you
really want to see Metastock on steroids you should check out his work.
Another way to solve your problem might be to simply write a custom
indicator for your application where the input values are set...like this:
{My Custom Indicator}
UserData:=5;
{remaining indicator code}
rather than using
{My Indicator}
UserData:=Input("User Input",0,99,5);
{remaining indicator code}
The final method that you choose to solve your problem is your decision.
Just take your time and think through the process and I'm sure you will do
just fine.

global variable. Here's how I recall making it work when I last tested the
method.

correctly your results will be garbage.
