I'm familiar with this...

The colors are the problem I was addressing. For example, I'd like to
paint a bar with any one of, say, **8** colors - more than the 4 TS seems
to give me. Most of my charts are maxed out, and I need to have each
indicator do as much as possible.

It is, a bit. That's why, in the original message, I was asking for the
easiest way :-).

Uh Oh, this does not sound good :-((.
I'd still appreciate any ideas on the multi-color problem...
