The text version of the Stock List definition file ( *.stk) is divided into multiple parts, each of which determines the values of different parts of the program.

It contains

• The language files for the texts of the program, the menus and all of the windows,
• The complete description of the picture database and any associated macros,
• The authors in the Author Database and their relevant data,
• The values, the files structure and the definitions of the Descriptions.

WARNING: The “ *.stk” file should only be edited by very experienced users - if at all.  Changes to this file can lead to program instability and may necessitate a complete reload of the program database. Always backup your stock list file before editing it!
