[GNC] Get Quote is Not Working?

[samsurd2]

I tried this. Went into Tools > Security Editor and changed all items to
yahoo_JSON. In Tools > Price Editor I request quotes but no joy! All I get
is minute after minute of a spinner but no quotes.

BTW, if I do the following for a single fund, I do get a correct quote. 

    In a cmd.exe window:

        cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\

        echo (yahoo_json "DBEF") | perl gnc-fq-helper

Do I need make some other change other than the one I described (like an
environmental variable) or am I not waiting long enough for quotes via
yahoo_JSON to be generated? Typically, how long is it taking for you to get
25 quotes?
