duplicate checks when importing from .qif

[Doug Laidlaw]

No, it doesn't.  Quicken doesn't, either  Neither one has human intelligence. 

Actually I find the dupes quite handy.  I can go to the "reconcile" window 
and if I see one put there by the bank, I know that it is cleared.  I then 
mark the original entry as cleared and delete the dupe.  In my case, the bank 
entries have the check number in the "Particulars" column, so it is easy to 
separate them out.
