-
- 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>.
-
- The program does not accept mutual funds quotes from GEnie.
-
- 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_").
