hmm... so whats the first thing heard after, spending 20 minutes writing an exploration for "todays high was lower than yesterdays high and todays low was higher than yesterdays low" only then to notice on page 279 of the meta manual, "inside()".......... answer: that'd be homer simpson's infamous syntax, "doh()" patrick said before , ' read the manual first'..... if your collection of charts , templates and layouts has become expansive, you can save that 1,or more, of utmost importance to your desktop for ease..... clicking the desktop shortcut will start up meta, if its not allready running, and load your layout...... as far as that goes you could email , as an attachment, the associated meta file for your chart,template, layout to someone.... when they clicked on the attachement link the standard 'open, save, cancel' box will come up..... clicking open will start meta and load the chart...... that would send the chart complete with line studies, indicators and such......h
