ofx.py setup

[Andre Powell]

Thanks for the response: 
The web interface only offers .csv downloads, but
there is support for Quicken ( I was using 2004 Mac)
and Money. The bank is State Employees Credit Union -
NC , and I see in the XML files some information, but
that is about as far as I have gotten.
