Importing QFX File

[Colin Law]

Did you not see my comment in the last post asking you not to just
reply to me directly, but to make sure the list is sent a copy also.
Normally I do not respond to private emails that should instead have
been sent to the list. This is the last time I will do this on this
thread. Please also see comments below

I did not ask how it knows which *account* to import to, but which
