Hi. Just wondering if anyone is having success with finance::quote for
Canadian mutual funds. finance::quote appears to be working for me (it
successfully returns data for US stocks via gnc-fq-dump and via the 'get
quotes' button in gnucash, but no success for CDN funds using any of the
sources and I have tried a range of fund codes after researching each of
the source sites for what they might use as the code. gnc-fq-dump
consistently returns something like this:

al at VAIO:~$ gnc-fq-dump stockhousecanada_fund MDM010
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: MDM010 (deduced)     <=== required
      date: ** missing **        <=== required
  currency: ** missing **        <=== required
      last:                      <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional

** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
cheers
