finally found the 'print all subtopics'.... it was in quotecenters help files not metastock as i had thought.... checking the help files can give you a bump when your stuck.... we can embellish them abit further through annotations..... the bookmark feature is handy also..... mentioned to peter about using the downloader for intraday data files.... that might need some explanation as downloader and intraday aren't often used in the same sentence.... though it should be easy to download intraday, after all data is data, the hard part might be in locating a provider..... meta provides us with a work around..... using the 'dataondemand' cache and downloaders merge function we can effectively download intraday....... with quotecenter we could create 60 minute folders with a years worth of historical data tonite ..... happy thanksgiving to yall all....... h
