Default Inputs[]

I saw a reference to Inputs[0] in an indicator I was studying, I can't find any documentation, and I'd like to be clear what it is. I'm pretty sure Inputs is a collection of data series. (Yes? No?) And I have a feeling a reference to Inputs[0] is equivalent to a reference to Input. (Again: Yes? No?) If so, is there any particular reason to use Inputs[0] rather than using Input? And how do elements beyond Inputs[0] get into the Inputs collection?

MikeInMA, this is unfortunately an unsupported property, while Input is as the main input for the script (closely related to PriceTypeSupported) - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../nt7/input.htm

"Unsupported" means "liable to break without warning if used in code," right? I think it's interesting, then, that I found Inputs[0] in @VMA(), in an embedded call to @CMO(), where I'm pretty sure Input could have been used instead. Why use an unsupported property in an indicator you provide when an equivalent supported property is available? That's purely a rhetorical question, but perhaps something you should consider....

Thanks for spotting this one Mike, I was not aware and will check into, I believe it should be just Input, the supported property we've got documented.
