   The GTE Data File Manager window opens.

   2. Then double-click on Data.
   3. Then double-click on MetaStock.

   5. To the right of the Folders window click on the Set as the Default Folder button.
   6. Click the OK button to set the directory as default.

      

      The next time you open GTE Charting the Data File Manager window will display your chosen exchange directory.

   7. Double-click on the exchange. The company codes and names will be displayed on the right screen (if you have loaded Historical data).
