OFX download problems

[BPG]

I figured it out....sort of.

I wasn't letting Aqbanking Get Accounts properly.

It's still a mess.....but I've stopped "thinking" and just acted stupid when
filling the stuff out and it worked ok (this time) for getting another
discover card account.

Thanks for the help.
