Importing QIF on Red Hat 9 w/ 1.85 fails

[Marc Williams]

Thanks for the prompt reply Derek!

I'm not real comfortable sending my QIF file out but let me ask you
something else.  When I exported from Quicken, the export dialog asks if
I want to include transactions, memorized transactions, Account list,
Security List, and Category List.  I checked them all.  Is this correct?

As far as your 401(k) question, I think the detailed tracking of those
types of investment accounts is a feature only of Quicken Deluxe and not
Quicken Basic.  We used it heavily.
