Hi Derek,

Thanks for your help - most of the fog is clearing now! Just one thing...

Is there a supporting URL for this? I checked the following URLs which
roughly describe the specification, and no where is B mentioned under
the "Account Information" section (i.e: "!Account")

Wikipedia only lists N and T:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format

The 'official' spec only lists: N T D L / %
