Here's a tip for getting the correct file path in your command: you can drag
the file into the terminal window, and it will complete it for you.

So, type the first part of the command:

** grep '^D' **

But don't hit Enter yet!  In a separate Finder window, navigate to the QIF
file.  Drag it into the terminal window, and it will enter the proper file
path.  Then, press Enter.
