PS: The documentation to which I refered is part of the QIF
import process. The druid itself has embedded documentation
explaining what it is doing. However I admit that that documentation
is unclear to someone who doesn't know what is going on.

Maybe. I must admit that I did not actually read the documentation,
but I guess that this kind of software should be pretty intuitive and
not misleading in anyway.
Thanks for your reply, have a nice day,
