[GNC] Error in Finance:Quote

Hi John, 
 
That was awesome advice. I checked default currency, it was set to GBP (I've
installed GnuCash in the UK). Now I've set this particular GnuCash file to
INR, and the mutual fund price retrieval works great. 
 
Which also explains why the GBP <> INR currency would appear automatically
in the 'Price Database' window. Now that I've changed the currency to INR,
it longer appears in this window. 
 
Problem solved! 
 
On the topic of Alpha Vantage - why don't I feel comfy about requesting a
key (obviously not for my India mutual funds), but in future if I add on
equity trading price retrieval. Admittedly, Alpha Vantage doesn't charge for
the key, but why need a key in the first place? Anyway, this is off topic,
but for now, this is also my wall, which I can't get past. My ignorance
about Alpha Vantage also is the source of paranoia about this
confidentiality freak! 
 
Thanks, 
Ashok
