EL documintation of the average function

["Sentinel Trading" <rjbiii@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question that may have been asked in the past, and as the topic has
come up I'd like to know if some light can be shed on this.

The notes with this average function identifies it as Average. The second one is
identified as @Average, The function wizard seems to identify the @Average
function, but pastes in Average. If I type in Average or @Average what do I get,
and what is the difference, in the two.

Sum = 0;
for counter = 0 to Length - 1 
begin
 Sum = Sum + Price[counter];
end;

if Length > 0 then 
 Average = Sum / Length
else
 Average = 0;
