Newton,

What QP2 needs is a text file containing the list of symbols. Other text on the line (if any) should be separated from the symbol by a comma (,). Try this trick: cut / paste from the website to a new file in Notepad, then insert a comma immediately after the symbol name at the start of each line. Save in
C:\QP2DATA\LISTS (or as appropriate on your PC). Notepad will probably save it as a .TXT file. Go to QP2, use List-Open and choose files of type "*.*" Select the file you saved from the list shown. Then hide the dialog box. QP2 will let you PgUp/PgDn through your list of stocks.

Paul

To transfer most any stock listing to an --.lst file:

1. Cut and Paste the listing into a blank Excel spreadsheet .

2. Select Data - Text to Columns.

3. Usually must pick "Delimited" (Next) check "Space" (Next) (Finish).

4. Cut and Paste the column showing the Stock Symbols into a --.lst file. Save without text formatting, if asked.
