Bob;  What I had missed, which is documented in the manual (note to 
self: RTFM, carefully this time), is that the password must be the 
CODED password.  Peter's documentation clearly outlines how to get 
that info, and he answered my e-mail on a SATURDAY, politely even 
though I had missed it in the manual.  Never got that kind of support 
from anyone else.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to build a year's worth of intraday 
history by downloading several months of 5-minute data on a number of 
stocks, when the Quote.com server has a limit of 500 quotes 
(records?).  Still working on that, but I'm open to any pointers from 
anyone who has done it.
