Ken, All, What the dickens am I doing wrong? I created a list of short candidates in Notepad. I moved it into my E:\virt directory and looked at all of them in WOW. Huh?? Is E:\virt a QP2 Virtual Dir??? If so did you use the QP2 Setup program to move them in??? If not that your problem. But, they won't update. I went to QP "Output to Metastock" and ran "Output a list of symbols to a single directory". My directory is E:\virt\newshort, which shows in the window. I can search on lists and find my "newshort.lst" and click on it. It appears to run, as each symbol appears in the box. But, only yesterdays data gets moved. This is for real MS data. What are you using Real or Virtual??? Sean

Ken, Sean has pointed out that "Output to Metastock" is for real dirs and that virtual subdirs can be added only via virtual setup, which terminates with a reboot. A workaround that I find convenient is to -create your list of short candidates in Notepad and save them to qp2data\lists as 'in.lst'. -use input = "in.lst"; output = "newshort.lst"; in a scan template that outputs anything you deem worthwhile and includes ProcessMS = "E:\virt\newshort",VMS; This is useful because you can create new virtual subdirs on the fly.
