Ross,

I have tried several sources, but the easiest I have
found for daily or recent historical data (20+ years
of daily, about a month of 5 min intraday or a week of
1 min data) is through MetaTrader.  It is free
software and the demo account to use it is free also. 
Just sign up for a demo account (I used
http://www.alpari-idc.com/ but I think there are
several others that provide MT for free), then load
the chart.  From there you can go into the Tools menu
and select "History Center".  It will list all of the
data resolutions you have pulled into a chart and from
there you can export the data in ASCII format.  This
data can also be used to feed TS2k using free tools
like the stuff at Hypertrader.  

Another source is a web based broker that will compile
an ASCII file for you to download.  It is also free. 
The site is:

Hope this helps.  I am on the digest so I apologize
ahead of time if someone has already posted this info.
