John,
Thanks for the info.  After opening in text editor, it does look like OFX file.  It had the following:
OFXHEADER:100
DATA:OFXSGML
VERSION:102
SECURITY:NONE
ENCODING:USASCII
CHARSET:1252
COMPRESSION:NONE
OLDFILEUID:NONE
NEWFILEUID:NONE

<OFX><SIGNONMSGSRSV1><SONRS><STATUS><CODE>0<SEVERITY>INFO<MESSAGE>Success</STATUS><DTSERVER>20160831014347<LANGUAGE>ENG<FI><ORG>USAA<FID>24592</

It appears though that the issue is USAA because the downloaded file had three of my investment accounts in it, not just the one I was trying to download and import.  USAA appears to be tied to Quicken which may require download of all investment accounts in the same doc.  So, will try to work again with USAA to get not Quicken tied OFX files.  Thanks for the help.

Contact with USAA is useless as they say they only support Quicken and are unwilling to discuss the issue.  I have also tried WebConnect to download an OFX/QFX file to import.  The downloaded file shows there is 6kb of data in the downloaded file, but when I import, the Generic Import Transaction matcher opens, but there are no transaction displayed.   I am not sure where to go from here.  Are there any things I can check?

OFX tags each with a transaction id and the importer ignores any ids it has already seen, regardless of whether they came in by import file or DirectConnect.
