-
- Communication Tricks & Traps
-
- All-Quotes & GEnie
-
- Since DOS does not accept a period (.) as a valid character in a
- filename, substitute a underscore (_) in stock symbols.
-
- To escape back to the main program when you are in a communications
- session simply press <Esc>.
-
- CompuServe
-
- Use the separate program (QL.EXE) to download stock quotes from
- CompuServe. Read the file QL.DOC to find out how to this program.
-
- Dial/Data
-
- When typing in commodity symbols add a price factor to the end.
-
- For example: The proper symbol for the September 1990 Standard & Poors
- 500 stock index future is SA0990. Add the price factor of two to the
- end to get SA09902. Look up the proper price factor for each commodity
- future in the Dial/Data documentation. The program will delete the two
- when it communicates with Dial/Data.
-
- Some Index symbols start with an asterisk, please substitute the "@"
- character instead.
-
- For commodity futures with a space as its second character substitute
- an underscore "_" (i.e. the commodity code for Soybeans is "S ",
- substitute "S_").
