>From my limited knowledge of TS2000i you can use any symbol you want as long
as you enter it the Global server symbol dictionary. CSI symbols are usually
the same as the exchange symbol but you can check that by looking at the
Exchange contract specifications for the individual contract. 

A Question!
My TS2000i symbol dictionary is well out of date! Where does one get the
latest symbol dictionary file?

Modern TS is super cool in many ways, but you hit them in the weak
underbelly...no non-us data. CME Euro is EC. The rest are, well, yet to be
determined.
