Adam,
I'm still researching my options. PowerBasic seems to be a viable solution if
it really will compile native Visual Basic 6.0 code.
I'll let the list know what I find.

Don,
Your exactly right...it would have been useless without two way
communication.
I was glad to see the answer Equis gave. MetaStock will truly become a
powerful
program with this ability and should not be hindered with "language"
limitations
anymore.
What are your plans for writing code? I have "Visual Studio 6.0", but I
currently
can only code in "basic". "Visual C++" seems to have a steep learning curve,
so I
may just break down and buy the "Power Basic" 32 bit version found at this
site:

Later,
Adam
