You mean something like this:

  echo '(currency "USD" "AUD")' | finance-quote-helper

I get no data back from this command.  I poked around briefly an it
appears that Yahoo has changed the currency portion of their website.
Its not as simple as just switching to a new url.  The web pages have
been redesigned as well.  I'll have to update F::Q to understand the
changes.  It will be a couple of days before I can get around to it.
This is a crazy busy week for me.
