Me either (the parser thing). Unpack the files and open the large bank 
info file in a text editor. Use the search function on your bank's name, 
and see if the result looks like the right match. Then use the <FID> 
number (I think that's the label) in your search match to locate the 
file in the folder that has all files named with numbers, open the 
numbered file that matches your previous find, and look for the 
ofxserver field. The grep hounds could do this much faster, but I like 
seeing more context than I get with (my level of) grep.
