Interesting, Brooke.
Bill S ran the TF+ scan for me last nite to yield
the following [mostly unlikely] candidates:
arro,at,phly,p,swy,rn,str,aa,fnm,fon,rx,ucl,vri,wb

Can shorten the long loops by setting the loop var to the end -Bob
---------
for l = -155 to -28 step 1 do
if high(l)=pointa then
datea:=l;
l:=-28;
endif;
next l;

Already one small correction -- a typo mixing up pointa and pointb in the conditions. Use this one:

//Cup and Handle Scan, by Brooke Elise Nagler,
//based on "Cup-With-Handle and the Computerized Approach

pointd:=min(0,-14,lo);

pointa:=max(-28,-155,hi);

dated:=0;
