I've got Journal Bar installed, and I want to see exchange rates other than euro <-> us dollar in the stock 'window'. I'd like to see the following exchange rates:

Euro <-> GB Pound,
Euro <-> ZAR (south african Rand), and
Euro <-> US Dollar

I've tried any logical combination of the standard currency symbols to try and get it working, but none of them will show up in the window, and if I tap the blank space where they should be, I get an error: Please enter a valid stock symbol.

I've tried UKP, GBP, £, €, and other exotic combinations. Preceded with the slash and with $$, no avail. The only one working is /EURUS, euro's to US dollars.

Example:
/EURUS works:

/EURGBP does not work:
http://mobile.msn.com/pocketpc/onequote.asp?sym=/eurgbp

I've been digging around the Standard and Poor's Comstock website, http://www.comstock-interactivedata.com and got nadda. The CANNEX site also has diddly.

Anyone got this running?
