Hi Andy-
Just an update from your message:

Sorry you had some problems.

This is fixed for 6.40.

I haven't found anything upon inspection. I will continue to work on
finding the problem and fix it (maybe not until a release or two from
now).

Fixed for 6.40.

Implemented for 6.40. It will also do it for exchanges that come from
TRMASTER or the exchange memory. It should also show the multiplier
status.
Thanks for the input.
