Importing accounts/data as CSV

   Upgraded from 2.6.13 to 2.6.15. Got hung up because I built and installed
2.6.13 while 2.6.12 was installed, but 2.6.15 would not build until I
removed the 2.6.13 package. Strange. Anyway, ...

   Table 4.1 in the gnucash-help doc notes that to import accounts and data
they need to be in the same format as gnucash exports have. My searches in
gnucash-help and gnucash-guide find no information on the export format.
Please point me to a source for this information.

   When I know the fields and their sequence I can write a one-line awk
script to reformat the .csv files that I've exported from the previous
software.

TIA,

Rich
