You should read the TS Readme file that comes with the software (available
from the Omega Research menu)
Maybe, as a seasoned programmer, you do not know that software editor put
there what is not available in the paper documentation?

Then you can read this:

                #BEGINALERT		Initiates alert procedure when alert condition is
true.
                #BEGINCMTRY		Initiates commentary procedure when commentary 
				condition is true.
                #BEGINCMTRYORALERT	Initiates commentary or alert procedure
when either 
		               		commentary or alert condition is true.
                #END			Closes the alert or commentary procedure.
                ATCOMMENTARYBAR	See CHECKCOMMENTARY

                CHECKCOMMENTARY 	Checks the status of commentary on a bar-by-
bar basis for 
                                                         real-time data, and
on the last bar of historical data.

There are dozens of examples in the Power Editor of all of these functions.

There are dozens of examples in the Power Editor of al of these function too.
( concatenation).
See expert commentary studies for more.

There are dozens of examples in the Power Editor of all of these
features;,mainly in their expert commentary examples.
It becomes obvious that plotX is treated and acting like variables do, e.g.
that you can refer to previous values.

Again, read twice before posting to this list.
I know of what I speak, me.

You should also consider to subscribe to TS Express.
You will be pleased to see that I'm still the technical editor of Bill
Brower's journal.

Rather than to continue this discussion where you are losing battle after
battle...
