I haven't tried, so I'm not sure it's possible... For the timeframe, it seems you could use the TimeFrameSet() function and the TimeFrameRestore()...
For the watchlist, it seems so far it's not possible to do it in AFL. Ole Automation seems to allow to define filter criteria and load the settings (see AmiBroker's OLE Automation Object Model in the help), so you could start another instance in jscript/vbscript/... or bind to the current one, load the proper criteria and execute the exploration with it.
