Good afternoon Hiram,

Thanks for your answer.
I'll do the tests late tonight or tomorrow.

I would like to ask:
Will the hgWiggle command work through an ODBC connection?
Elaborating a little bit more:

I really don't want to download huge files to my pc, just the results
for the position I query.
Kent's source is really great, but to be able to use it on my
environment I'll have to rewrite tons of things, which is like
reinventing the wheel.
Also if I install cygwin some programs I use get messy (i.e. Ruby).

For those reasons I would like to stick with the table browser. Is
simple, you already did the hard work and I don't have to worry about
file extensions/types.
On the other hand through ODBC I can query all primary tables by
position but not wigData files (they just contain an hyperlink)
So, this string

hgWiggle -db=ce6 -chr=chrI -doStats gc5Base

Will work though ODBC?

All the best and as always many thanks.
Diego
