RE: Expert Commentary printing into .txt file?

I don't know why, but this works when you "dock" the commentary (just drag
the commentary window to one side of your chart or the other and release).
Then you can use the pulldown menus in Metastock.  Open the commentary for
the bar that you are looking for, select all of the text that you want to
copy, then use the Edit....Copy pulldown command.

I just did this and pasted the text into notepad. (MS Pro V7.03).
