setting up stock non us exchange

[prl]

If you want to fill in the "ISINCUSIP or other code entry" for a 
security on the ASX in the Security Editor, a complete list of all ISINs 
and ASX codes for stocks traded on the ASX can be downloaded from 
http://www.asx.com.au/resources/asx-codes.htm

I haven't bothered, myself.
