QFX imports for Investment accounts

I am unable to get QFX imports to interact correctly with my existing
investments accounts.
Example. I have under Assets---Investments---Brokerage Accounts---Stocks------
"MY BROKERAGE COMPANY NAME" ; under which I have an account for each Stock (for
example Gnu Business Machines), Within this account I have 2
historical transactions (BUY/SELL, Imported via QIF)) and the current view
shows.....GNU Business Machines 0 GBM...... which is correct, at
least the data is..
My QFX file has a Buy Trade for GBM and when imported I get a New Account
Window showing GBM as a new Account, Type= stock, Parent Account= Brokerage
Accounts. I can change the Parent Account to indicate where my existing GBM
account lives, but no matter, when I OK the import I have a "New" GBM account
with the correct trade info per this QFX file. So now I have two GBM
accounts. Another Import generates a another New Account as a sub account of
the prior import's new account. . So every import creates a new account
rather than adding new entries to my original GBM stock account and every new
account is a sub account of the prior import containing transaction data.
I cannot seem to solve this issue on my own, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Final comment. I also have a separate file with Bank accounts and I have no problems
with importing QFX files. New data is entered where old date lives and life
is good.
Thanks Al
