Mass Import from MS Money User

[Jon]

As far as I can tell, the categories are created as accounts within GnuCash,
so when starting with a blank file, if I were to import my checking account
from Money, in addition to the checking account being created within my
assets folder, all the categories are created as accounts, so I'll get a
'natural gas' account, or 'Amex card' account.  The problem is when I then
import the 'Amex card' account from Money, it will double up the
transactions in the checking account where the two have interacted.  

I had thought that perhaps the order in which I imported the accounts would
matter but perhaps they don't.
