Points Only Test & Entry Size in System Tester

I want to run a Points Only test using an Entry Size equation in the Buy Order and Sell Short Order Tabs. Whenever I run a Points Only test, the Entry Size equations are ignored and all orders are placed with a quantity of 1.
Why are the Entry Size equations ignored in a Points Only test?
Is there a way to have a Points Only test obey the Entry Size equations?
Thanks,
Dennis

Answer: Points Only testing disables Entry Size equations...no way around that.
In essence the System Tester is crippled for backtesting Commodities!
MetaStock was designed by a Stock Trader pure & simple. Any features included, like Points Only were not implemented with a full understanding of the needs of a Futures Commodity Trader. So for me, a Futures Trader, the System Tester is functionally useless!
