[R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] Downloading data from Yahoo

[megh]

Thanks everyone for answering my query. I need one more extension. Suppose I
want to download GE, Intel and CTS data from Yahoo-finance and "USD/CAD"
exchange rate data from Oanda. Obviously I can do that by writing two
separate lines of codes, one for Yahoo and another for Oanda. My question
is, are there any privilege wherein I can download all four data in a single
go?

Thanks,
