Derek Atkins asked for some more detail on my qif import question.
Here goes:


 I'm coming from an old DOS version of quicken.  A split transaction
 appeared as
 	1/10/98  5620  Home Depot	  $100.00
 		home:remodel  floor tiles   50.00
 		tools         sander        50.00
 	
 For this both the payee (Home Depot), the accounts (home:remodel and tools),
 and the comments (floor tiles and sander) come across fine.
 
 
   For a non-split transaction, which appears as
   
   	1/11/98  5621  Home Depot	  $35.00
   	   glue for floor tiles
   	   home:remodel
on the screen, I'm not seeing the "glue for floor tiles" part in the
imported file.  
  This is the line that is marked as "M" in the qif file.

  In doc/examples/abc.qif, lines 8-15

  I don't see the "this came out...." comment in Gnucash, after importing
abc.qif into a new file.  I would expect it to show up when the register is
in double-line mode.

BTW, the file I'm trying to import has 14508 transactions, so I really don't
want to do any hand annotation after the transfer!
