Justin (Equis Admin) Re: Batch ASCII to MetaStock Conversions [FAQ] 
http://forum.equis.com/forums/thread/20584.aspx
"The Tools>Convert option within the DownLoader allows you to perform a 
wildcard conversion on a source folder. Meaning if all the *.TXT files reside 
in one folder, simply browse to this folder and leave the filename on *.TXT. 
It should go through all the files within this folder without you having to 
convert 1000 times manually. You would probably want to read the F1 help 
topic for ASCII File Layout within the DownLoader help menu for 
information on the formatting of the ASCII files. 
Note:When using the Browse option for the Source folder, it expects you 
to pick a filename rather than leaving it on a wildcard (*.TXT). Either type 
the folder onto the source folder line manually, or after browsing to the 
folder, double click on one of the files, then delete the specific file name 
from the source file box and type in *.TXT again."

i used *.PRN the file format the mt4 data is saved to; only 22 files so that
was the total number of mouse clicks required to convert the data
and the conversion copied the mt4 naming convention
