The Broad Market tool allows you to import calculated items into MetaStock
(via the Paste Functions dialog), and also includes many pre-built custom
formulas in MetaStock.
The pre-built custom formulas take the Broad Market functions and place
them into a MetaStock custom formula.

would be PER50DMA_ABOVE_CLOSE.TXT. If you're not sure what the file
name is, look in the Broad Market folder after the calculation is
complete.
