Gary, The question that was asked by Jan Robert Wolamsky is exactly what I want to do as well. Lets say that I run a scan for stocks to watch and not necessary to buy at this time. I would like to keep a list of these stocks in a virtual directory and then use say GET to look at the directory and watch for say a given condition to exist. That is why I need to say only add a few stocks to the list each day, but to let the list grow over time. I know how to create the profile the first time with a list of stocks, but how to I add to the list after the first day? I have asked this question many times but have never received an answer that I understood. Am I asking QP2 to do something that it can not do? --- webb blackman --- Webb, There are least three ways to do this.... 1. Edit the list file add symbols. run qpv profiler. delete existing list and add the list back again. Lease preferred method. 2. Edit the list file add symbols. run qp_lc to refresh the contents of the virtual directory(s). 3. Edit the list and add symbols. run a scan that takes the input and list and just prints each symbol to output list and then use the processMS command from the scan to update the contents of the QPV profile. In addition to any of these using a scripts you can merge/sort/unquify and keep queue's of lists and then use qp_lc to update their existance in QPV profiles. with 5 lines of perl or winbatch you can create an icon on your desktop and drag a list file onto the icon and have it pop up the editor and make changes and then automatically update everything when you save. Can't do this with dosbatch since you can parse the full pathname on the list file though. There are always many ways to skin a cat... Hope this helps... Sean
