Thank you Richard. I Cc'd Vincent as he quickly threw the module 
together a couple weeks ago. GBp sometimes coded as GBX for Pence 
Sterling. The emphasis was to at least have something ready if the 
current yahoo_json URL stopped working, so hurried testing was likely 
only done on US securities. And you may have seen the thread with John R 
about the trade date issue. The trade date on the web page is produced 
by Java script and cannot just be parsed from the HTML.

Thanks.
