Earl,

I have tried in MS 6.52 what you wanted to do in this way. First, I loaded 
two different securities in two different chart windows. Then I dragged and 
copied one of them on to the other chart. It was successful. Now, I have two 
securities on the same chart. for the dragged security, you have chart 
options--bar, candlesticks and line while the first security had all the 
chart type options that MetaStock has.

While dragging the second security, I displayed its scale on the left side 
for the original security the scale was displayed on the right side. Now I 
tried line studies on both charts that were also successful.

Next, I dragged an indicator on the first security and displayed it on a 
"new inner window". Now I drew the same indicator for the second security on 
the securities chart (main) window and overlaid it without scale. Then I 
opened a fresh inner window and moved this indicator to that window.

Thus, I could do comparative studies using similar parameters for two 
different securities on the same chart. I don't exactly know if you were 
looking for something of this kind. However, if you had anything else in 
mind could just elaborate that so that I can give it a try.
I don't know how to send .gif file with emails otherwise I would have sent 
you the chart picture of what I described above. Could you help me learn how 
to send that if time permits you.

Thanks for your patience to read the letter.

Regards,

Rajat
