Problems getting quotes for funds

[Paul Stansell]

Dear Dave,

I'd like a fix for this too.   Do you have any ideas why what you 
suggested below doesn't work for me:

   gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe IT0003110860ITA
   Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
       symbol: IT0003110860ITA      <=== required
         date: ** missing **        <=== required
     currency: ** missing **        <=== required
         last: 3.75                 <=\
          nav:                      <=== one of these
        price:                      <=/
     timezone:                      <=== optional

   ** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!

Thanks,

Paul
