Canadian Stock Qoutes

[Paul B.]

John,
What I've learned from this is:
1. TYPE field in GUI is for reference only. You can type there whatever 
you want - doesn't have any bearing on how your quote query will be run.
2. In Currency/Security field you have to type exactly symbol as your 
quote source is requiring it.
For example for Nortel (my favorite stock) listed on TSX (Toronto Stock 
Exchange) I'm entering:
Type: TSX
Currency/Security: NT.TO
That's valid for Yahoo. For TD Waterhouse you will enter NT-T

Paul
