That's great news. I'm really looking forward to this feature.

Yes, though now all balances and charts are in EUR. However this works
surprisingly well; all the values in the charts are the corresponding
values in EUR while the portofolio script refuses to work at all in DEM.

I read about it but forgot afterwards, thanks for reminding me. I tried 
putting an EUR in the field but this didn't work at all. This would be
a cool additional feature: Put an currency symbol in the field and the
values are automatically converted to the native currency using.
