A minor point -- years ago when I added the indices (Dow, NASDAQ, Russell)
to our portfolio, qkn (don't remember the version) automatically added them
to the Watch List. Don't know if that still happens or not; it was a simple
step to remove them from the Watch List so they were not duplicated in the
portfolio view.

Same thing here, except it occurred sporadically, so that few were added to
the watch list and other were not.

Thanks.
