setting up stock non us exchange

[LindenSys at aol.com]

Thank you will try editing the XML file as the stock editor would not  
work.

The only  way I know of to get rid of something put in the template one is 
to
edit  the XML file.  If you have compression on, yoed to extract it  first,
then edit it, you don't need to recompress it to be able to open  it.  You
can change it from template to another existing market  instead of getting
rid of it all together.  Normally editing the XML  file isn't
recommended/supported, but I should imagine it would be the  expected
behavior in this scenario.

I noticed the "never EVER select "template" " below and now am  worried. 

During my initial setup for stocks etc. I setup one using the  "template". I
would like to get rid of it but cannot find out how that is  done. 
Thank you
Harry

NO!  You should never EVER  select "template".  Indeed,  the fact that you
can even *see*  "template" is a bug that (still?) needs to  be fixed!
If you select  Template it will cause lots of issues.

The  namespace is a  freeform text string, but it's there solely for your
human   purposes.  It means nothing to GnuCash (except the   aforementioned
"template" namespace).  You can just type in ASX if  you  care.

The important part is the Quote Source setting and the  Stock  Symbol.
