Is there anyway we can get the Industry names and groups
stuffed into the IndustrySector and IndustryGroup fields?

Currently, I dont see a way to retrieve these programmatically from the !IDxxx symbols.

We can see these from with the Quotes Plus chart program,
why not make it available from the programmatic scripts?

I dont want to retrieve a stocks industry group and sector.
I want to when I scan on the entire database, output
what ID001's group and sector are related to. It seems
natural to just use the IndustryGroup and IndustrySector
calls to do this. But currently, they output nothing when
called.

Also, is there anyway we can get a string comparison
facility into the search language? The usual boolean
operators used in conjunction with determination of
string tokens can be used.

For example:
if symbol = "ID001" then
println IndustryGroup, IndustrySector;
endif;
