Problems getting quotes for funds

[Richard Ullger]

Hi Fred,

For what its worth I'm also seeing this behaviour. Because the prices 
were being retrieved using gnc-fq-dump I incorrectly assumed that 
gnucash was loading them correctly. But on checking in the price editor, 
prices for my stocks update ok but those for my funds are being ignored 
with no errors.

Regards,

Richard.
