I am not sure about these so I'll take your word for it.

What? Defective? Which ones? Maybe the ones you wrote?

What? I'm not really sure what you were reading. Their documentation is
very relevant. (Although I can think of two functions that were included
with the help file that were not included in the program.)

I'll take your word for this ... but it is probably a computer problem.

You can chart the line ... what else do you want to do with it? You do use
Metastock don't you?

This can be done, in fact it is allot easier to import data into Excel from
QP than it is from Metastock.

Lionel, I don't want to start a thread that will tick the majority of the
list off. The problems that you are having (have had) that hinder the
functionality of QP is understandable. If I had a problem with a program
that wouldn't work I would have a gripe also ... who wouldn't?
I am having a hard time with your other problems though ... Methinks you
were thinking hard for problems to list.
You mentioned in a private email that ALL of your correspondence has been
through private emails with QP tech support and not through the QP email
group. I have heard your cries many times to Ken on this list for Equis
support and future improvements (much of which I agree with!). Why the
change in format with QP?
