[GNC] Get Quote is Not Working?

[David G Hamblen]

I ended switching all 7 of mine to yahoo_json, and it took a variety of 
efforts:  updating F:Q from 1.46 to 1.47, closing and opening Gnucash, 
making sure I had no AlphaVantage accounts lurking in the securities 
editor....   Not sure which of those things made it work, but it's 
working smoothly now.  My guess is the upgrade to F:Q was the key, but 
maybe reopening GnuCash caused it to recognize that update.
