USING THE ALADDIN SCRIPT
Please note: this is not a SnapStock script, it is an ALADDIN script.
ALADDIN is an automated communications program for use with the GENIE
online service.
This script, adapted from one I found in the PC Aladdin roundtable on
Genie, needs to be imported into your "User Script" area in Aladdin, or
simply chosen from the "perform user script" menu item, if using Alad 1.80
or later.
Obviously, you will need to modify it for the exact issues you wish to track.
Up to 30 ticker symbols may go on each line, separated by commas.
Since the Genie quotes include prices for two days, I usually run this every
other day. I then update my files in SnapStock, using the file QUOTES.GEN
created by this script as my source.
SnapStock actually flips QUOTES.GEN over, so the dates become chronological
(GENIE lists today first, followed by yesterday - SnapStock needs them in
the other order.) The upshot of this is that the issues you place last in
this script will wind up at the top of your performance report, and will be
the first updates performed by SnapStock.
