Thanks for your help, David. Here is a screen capture from my  
terminal session:

09:20 PM ~ $ gnucash --add-price-quotes $HOME/Documents/gnucashFiles/ 
Helfrich
gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version ""1.13"
09:22 PM ~ $
End Screen capture

To me, this looks like F::Q is installed correctly. However, when I  
opened gnucash after this, the Security Editor still indicated that  
Finance::Quote was not installed properly. Do you have any other  
suggestions?

Thanks,
