This sounds as an interesting approach, and it may not be tough, but I have
not yet gotten it to work.
Placed the directory in "d:\Program files\Omega Research" since my
installation is towards that directory. Cut out your example and placed in a
file ending with ".csl". Went into Ts100, and brought up the symbol
settings. Could not find the list anywhere, neither under custom symbol list
or 3rd party, ...
I am using SP2, is this a feature introduced later?
I agreee that exchange seems as uneccessary information, but what metastock
directory the files are in must be specified somewhere?
