FM> OK they're on, but I need to know if they're in *addition* to, or
FM> *replace* some or all of what you had on already. Before this you had
FM> (selling):

They replace all of my previous sell orders.

FM> 51,658 {at} 13    (A)
FM> 101,000 {at} 13.5  (B)
FM> 4,000 {at} 13.5  (C)
FM> 30,000 {at} 15    (D)

FM> It looks to me like (1) & (2) replace (B) & (C); (3) is new;
(4) & (5)
FM> replace (A) and (D) remains.

All correct except for the "D".  It goes too.

FM> Understood the format, although some of those parcels didn't correspond
FM> to any you'd actually bought - some did, but some were combinations and
FM> some were part of parcels.

It's what I still own.  Whenever I sell something, I nominate which stock I
sold (usually the most expensive), and there can be partial parcels left.

FM> Does this new program of yours (semi)automatically decide what you want
FM> to sell? 

No, not yet.

FM> Teach it to send an internet message and cut yourself out of
FM> the loop! When SEATS97 comes in, maybe we can cut both of us out of the
FM> loop!

What's SEATS97?  BFN.  Paul.
