HELLO ,how do i make A EFS FILE THAT PUTS A LINE ACROSS THE CHART WERE THE
CURRENT PRICE IS AT ??...........(a strait price line that moves with the
price ?)

Esignal doesn't have this function.

I had Chris Kryza from Divergence Software make a script for me. Works great.

There are two functions that will do that (see the corresponding links for the descriptions and syntax) .
The first one is addBand() eg

addBand(close(0), PS_SOLID,1, Color.blue,"CurrentPrice"); 

The second is addLineTool() eg

//if using eSignal 8.0 or earlier uncomment the following line
//clearLineTool(LineTool.HORZ);
addLineTool(LineTool.HORZ, close(0), 1, Color.blue, "CurrentPrice"); 

Add either one of the above code examples to the main() function of any existing efs that plots as a price study and it will draw a line across the screen at the current price.
If you want to write the efs from scratch you can use the efs template that I provided here

Use getMostRecentTrade() instead of close(0) as the price at which the line is drawn
See this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase for the description of the function
