Another way to make a composite in Downloader is to create a new security, name it Composite or whatever, but do not put it in the active download. Enable Volume and Open Interest. Now you have 6 columns to copy and paste closing prices from six other download pages. In MSWIN open your new composite, go to properties and choose security color the same as the background color. Create an indicator (O+H+L+C+V+OI)/6. Drag that indicator into the main window. Change the volume Properties to background color too, and use that window for indicators. I just made a Telecom composite in Downloader that way with 6 stocks to see if it would work. It took about ten minutes. You can also use those empty columns on indicies to copy and paste other data, like Put/Call ratio, Bull/Bear, etc. Or a math function in Excel that MSWIN cannot create. You can use DLL's in Excel to automatically update your Excel values into Downloader too.
