Right now, you are sort of out of luck. Gnucash doesn't have a QIF
export mechanism.
However, in the 1.5 series, the gnucash native file format is an ASCII
text XML file, so you could probably hack up a perl script to do it :)
QIF export is on my personal list of stuff to do. I am going back to
the QIF importer for another round of improvements as soon as I finish
the report generation stuff I'm working on now, and I may whip up an
exporter at that time.
Thanks,
