Exactly. I don't believe that Quicken itself actually required this line,
and it may be worth seeing whether the QIF importer can be modified to
accept it as is. It might be tough though, so I'm not sure. The problem is
that some lines can be ambiguous without that !Type line at the top.

In the meantime, you'll definitely have to add it manually.
