Thanks for that, RAMc!

RadisScreen is used to identify stock selections and includes all of the functionality you get with Excel. RunRadis can print stock picks straight from your SI Pro installation, but only supports a limited set of Excel functions.

Nevertheless, RadisScreen cannot perform back-tests (AFAIK), while that's the primary purpose of RunRadis - it performs back-tests via a DB built from multiple SI Pro installations. RunRadisJM is also intended for running back-tests, and in fact, it currently has no support for listing stock picks from a screen (unless you add "Print" statements), nor does it work directly on an SI Pro installation.
