SIGH....  *this* problem again.  Intuit (or Microsoft) should be SHOT
for doing this!  The data file should NOT have internationalized type
codes!

Well, before you do -- there is nothing we can do about 'Oth P' v.
'Oth L' or 'Banco' v. 'Bank'.  There is just no way to deal with that
in any reasonable fashion.  The fact that you had to change both
"type" and the actual type is not something we can cope with.  But
feel free to file a report -- and please put the mappings in there.
