How do I get a good symbol list on globalserver or Radarscreen?

Gang, I want a list of all stocks with good volume
that just crossed above their 50-day moving average. 
Clearly, I need to use Radarscreen.  My problem is
that there is no way I can enter each stock by hand
since there are around a thousand to scan.  This is
why there are symbol lists, but since there is no
support (section for Radarscreen was even deleted from
the manuals!) I need some help.  

Here is what I tried so far.  To get some symbols in
the global server I downloaded every stock using
historybank.com (just daily data), explicitly telling
the global server to add all symbols it gets data on. 
So now I have a global server with a huge # of stocks.
 Then I opened up a blank Radarscreen workspace, and
went to Insert-Symbol.  Upon selecting stocks there
appeared a large list of stocks.  I highlighted them
all and clicked OK.  But only 500 stocks got imported.
 How do I import more than 500?  If I use
Insert-Symbol_List I get only specialized lists, like
"Defense", not "All Stocks".

I would be happy to solve the problem by bypassing
Radarscreen and getting rid of the low-volume stocks
in the global server.  Then I could select the whole
list of stocks, since fewer than 500 would be in the
Radarscreen list in the first place.  Alternatively, I
could construct a new template of stocks which already
have been filtered for high volume.  Any suggestions
on how to do this without keying in each one?  Surely
this problem has been tackled by others on this list
before.
