Derek,

   The examples were copied literally. That's the way they are in the .qif
file.

   A-ha!

   Interesting that there's no option in KMM2 for formatting negative
numbers/debits -- for expense accounts, for example. But, a quick regex
search and replace in a text editor cured that problem.

   The data imported. There's an error (or errors) somewhere as the balance
is off. But, over the weekend I'll match entries line-by-line with my paper
register and fix it up.

   Many thanks for the assistance. And now others will also know what's
required to move data from KMM2 to Gnucash via GIF export/import.
