Does your downloader permit you to specify the range of dates to use for 
downloading historical data (many do)?  If so, just delete the symbols and 
download for the specified range. 

If not, I suspect that you will have to write some code using the file 
functions fopen, fclose, fgets, and fputs which can read/write the data file.  
In terms of strategy, I suppose that there are a number of ways to go but one 
might be to read the data and then within the date range of interest write it 
to a new file.  There are export/import codes in the library that might be 
helpful.

  Hi Bill,

  I've checked that and it's not possible.  Surely there's an easy way 
  to create a watchlist of quotes from date x->y?  and delete from 
  there?
