Hi Tomasz, Well, no one will ever get any "image problem" ideas from me, and I apologize for possibly inadvertently creating one. It's a great program, period.
I did go ahead and try the upgrade. I'm not experiencing any problems that I notice. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'll get around to it. The new enhancements to the watchlist system are warmly welcomed. Quick question: I have three watchlists in my primary database, one each for the Nikkei 225, 300, and 500 indices. I also have a full Japan database (more than 3000 symbols) that I have not organized very much. Since watchlists now have a folder, an index file, and ticker lists, would it now be possible to copy a watchlist, or watchlists, from one database to another? It would seem that this might be an easy thing to do, but I don't want to mess around with the innards until I know what I'm doing.
