gnucash 2 cannot import QIC file

[Richard Karpinski]

First a popup window says "Loading QIF file...", then another window
with "An error accurred while loading the QIF file." The close button
dismisses the "An error..." window, but the gnucashdoesn't seem to
reposnd to anything--including attempts to close the "Progress..."
window or the main window. Does this actually help at all?

I really appreciate your help.
