gnucash 2.2.6 - problems with qif import

[Charles Day]

I see this also discussed here:
http://www.wiso-software.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&postID=91169

What does "Vermögenskonten" mean? I am just trying figure out which GnuCash
account type is the closest/best match. The generic "asset" type? Or "bank"?

Cheers,
Charles
