-> I was experimenting with the ability to import quotes from the web,
-> and
-> noticed that yahoo has a feature to save your quotes to a spreadsheet
-> file.  Would this not make it easier to implement this or what?
-> 
-> Here is an example of what the file would look like:
-> 
-> "MSC",12.5625,"3/4/1998","1:37PM",+0.1875,12.4375,12.6875,12.25,23600
-> 
-> This is the URL that produced the above file...  Just insert your own
-> symbols and magic... you have a file with quote info in it.

-> http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=msc&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv
-> 
-> Whatcha think?
