importing to multiple checking accounts

[Anthony Dardis]

I misunderstood: I thought you were getting the qif's from Quicken. I  
don't know how to let GnuCash know that a qif belongs with a certain  
account if the qif doesn't already announce this; someone else here must  
know. (I wonder if you just open the relevant account in GnuCash, then  
start the import?)
