This is just the kind of project I have been hoping to find. I have no scripting experience at all, but next week, I am starting a home study of scripting. The links below came up instantly on a google search, so I am sure that I will have no problem finding enough study material. If this yahoo data project involves a huge amount of repetitive typing of symbols, then I would like to join in on developing the thousands of sub routines that are probably, required. I learn best when I am working on a project that will benefit me. I am willing to devote a substantial time to this project. I know that the time of experienced scripters is valuable, so would ask a question only when I can't find the answer in a google search. Maybe there are others wanting to learn at least a little about scripting, and would be willing to dovote a substantial amount of time to helping.
