Andy,
small answer - not the correct one, but will help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAINTBAR:
input: length(20);
plot1[length] (high[length],"");
plot2[length] (Low[length],"");
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
this will paint ALL bars BEFORE that "input" (20) window with a certain colour - so 
UNpainted remain those which are IN the last period - obvious the first one is the 
ONE you like to see,,,,
there are better, nicer and other solutions - but I dont havem :-))
you could use a plot3 and 4 to repaint the former bars in length 21 in the 
ORIGINAL colour if youre that desperate :-))
