Thanks, Derek... logging in as root and typing "dump-finance-quote"
(without the " ") produces a bash "command not found" message. I ran
update-finance-quote and it seemed to go fine, but still I am unable to
update any prices.
I can't think of anything else that happened during the summer. I was
away from this Linux machine and didn't do anything with it. I'm trying
a couple of old gnucash data files to see if they'll work.
PS: It's 1.6 (.1, I think); prepackaged with Xandros.
