- // the entry will be either "by_page" or "by_quote"
- // "by_page" means the page inherently defines the quote information which will be received.
- // these are usually index pages which are predefined.
-
- // "by_quote" means the quote requests will be appended from the .qtl file automatically
-
- by_quote
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // the next entry tells MAWIN what delimeter character to add between appended quote symbols
-
- // 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
-
- +
-
- // (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

- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // next, tell MAWIN what character string to look for as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
- // if you decide to customize your own download site, you can pick this string by first bringing
- // up the site using a Web Browser, and use "file save" to save the .htm image of the page.
- // then, examine the .htm file using any good text editor, such as WordPad, or Notepad.
- // first look for a string which will be used as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
- // for this page, there are two types of quotes. The first trigger phrase is:
-
- GroupTrigger=display the detailed quote data
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
