In the New Commodity dialog, enter the following:

	Full Name: Jupiter European
	Symbol: 1318
	Type: Fund

Unfortunately, I can't get quote retrieval to work for this fund.  Not a
problem with Gnucash, but with the Finance::Quote code gnucash calls to
do the quote retrieval.  Its a problem with the way F::Q retrieval works
for Trustnet (screen scraping based on the fund name) and the fact that
your fund name matches multiple funds.  Based on the url you provided
above, I can probably fix the F::Q code but I won't have time to look at
it for six months or so.
