Daniel answered Question 1, and there's only one way I could see getting around it. It's time-consuming, impractical and, well, rather lame, but you could always check to see what close(0) and close(-1) were for the first symbol in the list, and then put this in instead of "header":
if close(0)= x and close(-1) = y then
println "Symb ,Close ,YClose ,Change ,Vol";
That's a silly solution, but I'm a silly person.
The only other thing you could do is work with the present list of reports (by going to Report and Define), but the list is limited, as you've found. It would be nice to be able to add new reports with our own coding.
As for Question 2, I've never tried it. Creating some sort of index from a list of stocks would mean combining them with one formula. That would require a program like Excel, I think. As for charting the new index, again you'd have to use Excel. Metastock allows composites with only primary and secondary securities.
So I'm rather useless on both questions, it seems. I'm not the one to ask when it comes to getting QP2 to do new tricks. A few on this board seem to have succeeded in getting it to roll over and play dead, but it hasn't even done that for me.
