gnucash-user Digest, Vol 88, Issue 17

I don't yet know if they could be connected. I'm fresh both to gnucash and
OFX format. Is it possible to have statements from various accounts in one
OFX file? Mayme I could prepare some kind of script that combines many
files... If not, manual entry is a certain, but not comfortable solution.

Thanks

Pawel
