If you're using MS 8.xx PRO, there is a nice function(from the online 
manual):

The Security Data function allows a formula to access price data for 
any online or local security.  This function can be used in any of 
MetaStock's formula tools.
Online securities are referenced by including "ONLINE:" before the 
symbol.  Local securities are referenced by including the full path 
to the security file.  If the security exists in the same folder as 
the base security, the path does not need to be included.  The 
symbol, including the path or online reference, is enclosed in 
quotation marks.

To reference Microsoft's close as an online security:
Security("ONLINE:MSFT",C)
To reference Microsoft's close as a local security using the full 
path:
Security("C:\Metastock Data\Sample\MSFT",C)
To reference Microsoft's close as a local security in the same folder 
as the base security:
Security("MSFT",C)
The last type of reference is particularly useful if you use local 
data exclusively, and store all of your securities in the same local 
data folder.

For example, the following indicator displays a 30-day moving average 
of Microsoft's close on any chart, if your online data vendor is 
active.
Mov(Security("ONLINE:MSFT",C),30,S)
The same formula could be written as:
Security("ONLINE:MSFT",Mov(C,30,S))

I'm not sure wether the security function is also integrated in EOD 
or not and I'm also not sure wether this is possible or not. But I'll 
give it a try and when I find some time maybe I'll try the coding 
(althoug I'm not looking at me as a pro).
