"When everything fails, consult the manual."

Tomasz,

I love AmiBroker, and the limitless options it offers. It has made  many things 
possible for me that I could not find in any other program.  

What I can't seem to get used to is your intolerance for people who, not having 
written "the manual", don't know exactly WHERE to look to find the answers that 
are obvious to you.

The fact that something is in "the manual" does not mean that someone can find 
a path to an answer.

I just went to the Users Guide and searched for "watchlist" and you know what? 
CategorySetName() did not come up in the listing.  Try "Specifying watchlist".  
Try "specify" or any combination or related words, and CategorySetName() will 
still be hiding in a dark corner of "the manual".

Last week, I was trying to figure out what the "%p" (or something like that) 
meant in a parameter string, and I finally gave up after a half-hour of 
searching for an answer.

AmiBroker is not a simple program.  It does not have a 100-page users' manual 
that will answer all questions.

So please, have a bit of tolerance for those of us who do not have "a priori" 
knowledge of every little nuance - and who cannot find the answer in "the 
manual".  Spare us the sarcasm.
