RE: st: RE: AW: Problem with grqreg

["Jeff" <jbw-appraiser@earthlink.net>]

Thank you.  That works, at least to the point of not getting an error
message.
However, I was under the impression that the purpose of the original
question was to get a graph of the various CIs.

After correcting my error by putting the "local" command on the next
line, I tried, as in the original question:

graph qreg, ci ols
and alternatively
grqreg, ci ols

and got the following error message:

qreggraph_g.new , ci ols: class member function not found

I received the same error message when I used sqreg instead of qreg

Perhaps I misunderstood the intention of the original question.  If so
my apologies.  If, however the intention was to produce graphs, I still
need further help.

Thank you again in advance.

Jeff,
In the example provided to you by Martin Weiss, the -local- command is  
not on the -sqreg- line of the example, but on the next line. Try  
putting a carriage return just before -local- so your example matches  
his.
