- // "by_page" means the page inherently defines the quote information which will be received.

- // for example:
- // www2.merrill-lynch.ml.com/htbin/indlink?tick=dis,hd,xrx,spq
- // could be a valid request for this page, and the delimeter ',' is used
- // other sites may use '+' or other characters as a delimeter
-
- // delimeter character skipped for 1 quote per page
- //+
-
- // (to determine what delimeter is used, bring up the page using your Web Browser,
- // request your stock quotes, and observe the delimeter used...usually shown in the
- // top text field of your Browser, as a part of the URL.)
-
- // if the method is "by_page", enter nothing here; MAWIN will skip this field

- // The keywords which may be used are:
-
- // Numeric Keyword Identifiers:
- // Hi, Low, Bid, Ask, Open, Close, Prev, Change, Volume, Date, PE_Ratio, Dividend, and Temp
- // "Temp" will be available to be used to store/handle throwaway numerics between quote data
- // "Temp" may be used multiple times
-
- // Textual Keyword Identifiers:
- // Symbol, Co_name, Time
-
- // for this file/site, the parsing commands are:
-
- 1 // lines per quote
- AutoDate // will search for date field and remove before processing quote
- //NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
- Close 2 Open 2 Hi 2 Low 2 Volume
-
- // up to 20 identifier types per quote may be specified
- // modifiers may be needed, to make adjustments of scale, such as this case where volume is
- // quoted in 1000's of shares, and must be adjusted to shares.
- // supported modifiers are '*' and '/'
-
- // Volume * 1000
