Hi Bruce,

I'm in Chrome using TC2000 Anywhere. I have about 100 ticker symbols in a .txt file. I usually don't import an entire list of tickers into TC2000, so I went to the Help site ...

http://help.tc2000.com/m/69401/l/337366-how-to-create-a-new-watchlist-from-a-saved-file

Got to Step #5 ... I don't see the "Import Symbols from File" option on my screen.

What's up with that?!? ... lol ... help!

Ok, after coming in off the ledge, my best guess is that that particular option is only available in the version installed on your computer ... probably not doable through a browser ... just a guess. :)

You can paste all the symbols from the file to the Clipboard (which is available by clicking on the up arraow on the status bar of the TC2000 Anywhere webpage and select "A"). Then Paste to the watchlist.

I currently have my list of tickers in a text file in Notepad, and coped them to my Windows Clipboard. Not sure what you mean by "clicking on the up arraow on the status bar of the TC2000 Anywhere webpage and select "A"".

Still not seeing a way to Paste them to my WatchList.

When I get back to my personal laptop, I can always try it the old-fashioned way, but I'm not seeing a way in TC2000 Anywhere.

That said, I'm over-caffeinated. Again. Story of my life. :)

Found the Status Bar at the bottom of the TC2000 Anywhere webpage. Looks weird, but as long as it works, I don't care. lol. Will try after a power nap. lol.

Great! Glad that it helped.

Here is the screenshot in case somebody else wants to know where is the Remote Clipboard.

Thanks again Mark!

Nice screenshot. I was strung out on caffeine yesterday and focused my attention at the top of the screen. Took a while before I thought of looking at the bottom. :)
