Jimmy:

You mentioned PushPop could do an Alert Once function: true, if you knew
coding.


The Alert once logic would be:

x=bar-time[1];         				{an elkit32 bar time function - stable bar time
comparison of 1 bar ago for tic or time}
x=string(x);           				{convert bar-time to String var to compare to
saved GV - which GVs are either float or string}
if alert condition and x><y then begin  	{y=global string variable}
	....custom sound...
	y=x;						{once alert is activated, the comparison GV accepts the last bar
time[1] which is good for that bar}
end;


Its not rocket science, but there are 3 reasonable feasible GV alternatives
with time/date stamps:
(other languages w/difficulty between Power basic and C++ not mentioned, but
would be closer to C++ in difficult but slower than C++ or PB)

1. C++ 		- good for electrical engineers or rocket scientists, but coding is
extremely time consuming.
				Note - Tradestation programmers cannot figure it out, so this is a base
expertise level required for C++.

2. PowerBasic (PB)	- as fast as C++, programming structure done, extremely
adaptable, but final GV integrated interface not complete.
				Its only a few lines a code away, other than some redundant variable
declarations of GV creation file already done.

3. PushPop		- will work(!), slower than the above 2 alternatives, and no
further support of application currently.
				Excellent temporary alternative at worst and final solution at best.


Due to availability of resources ($) and experience levels, PushPop may be
the most effective alternative for Omega Group-think.
