[Bonnie Stroud]

I just started using GnuCash as well, three days ago. Really, really 
love it. The help and guide pdfs have been excellent. I exported several 
QIFs from Quicken, covering years 2004-2016 and I can see my memos 
imported to the Description lines. I am not sure how to find the memo 
field, but if you can give me some guidance, I will look for it. I still 
have the qif files I used.

to find the Quicken Memo field seems to have been ignored and lost. If 
anyone knows where this field is, please let me know.

fields together, perhaps with a separator so it can, as does Q'n, 
recognise the Payee on a new entry.
