The first thing to do is to find out if you can get quotes for any
such options via Money. They are not available from the US feed for
Getronics options. They may be available from your feed, but that
would surprise me a little.

Let's discuss how I would do it for an option using US feeds.
Somebody else may have info as to how it might differ for an NL
user.

Suppose you are selling 10 covered call. If you define the option
as an Equity Option, enter a "Sell to Open" transaction for 10
contracts. Note that a quirk prevents you from being able to
change the symbol for a security that has been defined as an Equity
Option. Thus you might want to name the option "DOW 30 Jan Call"
rather than "DOW 30 Jan 04 Call". Expire will be a native type for
the options.

If you define the option as a Stock, enter a "Short Sell"
transaction for 1000` shares. You will be able to change the
symbol later if you like. To expire the option, enter a Cover
Short for $0.

Not that for quotes download, the symbol must start with a period.
For example, .DOWAF is the symbol for Dow Call Jan $30. If you are
entering the prices manually, you can leave the symbol blank.
You might work with a copy of your file initially to try this out in
case you want to revert back.

Can someone tell me how to get options for example:
10 contracts getronics call oct05 ?2,00
into money2004
