b. In Quicken Press Ctrl-U then Ctrl-I and type the filename
specified in the previous step. Using a simple one letter file-
name means you only have to type one letter when requested
for the filename in Quicken.
c. Use /FIN to import these same prices in Lotus 123
* Important note - since the output file gets erased and rewritten
each time you run this program it is important not to name this
file with a name that already exist in your Quicken directory
We suggest that you use the default filename of C.

collected on Compuserve using the expanded version of our program. These
spreadsheets are completely menu driven and easy to use so it doesn't
matter what experience you have using spreadsheets. Versions available
now for Quattro Pro and Lotus 123. Excel version will be available soon.
This is a very economical solution if you already own a spreadsheet
considering many standalone stock charting programs cost well over $100.
Even if you don't use the spreadsheet features the cost of this shareware
is well worth the price for the Quicken conversion feature alone.
