Miscellaneous TPA preferences

Choose miscellaneous default settings for TPA that don't fall into any of the other categories. The choices are:

Novice prompting: Get additional prompts before certain operations which can not be reversed, e.g., when deleting a search result . TPA will try to prevent you from accidentally discarding your work, and will give you useful hints and prompts for various operations you carry out.

Toolbar hints: See yellow pop-up hints on the toolbar .

Adjust rollovers: Adjust the prices to remove rollover gaps, by default.

Light dialog fonts: Use non-bold rather than the usual bold fonts in dialog boxes.

Fast question eval: This should almost always be checked. It allows TPA to take shortcuts by e.g., not evaluating the second part of an "and" clause if the first is already false.

Use HLC validation: This should almost always be checked. It ensures that open, high, low and close prices entered in the database editor have the correct relationships to one another.
