6. What' New Since Version 1.2
------------------------------
- If you have a monochrome system that was not automatically detected by
PRO$TOCK type PS /M to run PRO$TOCK.
- If you want download directly stock quotes when running PRO$TOCK, type:
PS /21 the second number is the list number (1 to 9)
- a new option is available:
type F9 in the main menu, and go page 3 (Pgdn): Exit PRO$TOCK after download
this option will allow you to go to dos after a download.
- be aware that sometimes, Prodigy Quote Check is not available, I have
changed the keyboard macro to be more resistant to that, but no stock
quotes will be downloaded if Prodigy Quote Check is not available.
- If you were using an older version, type F9 from the main menu and press
ESC: a new, clean configuration file will be created
- Quicken 4.0 conversion program added
