[GNC] Problem With Price Editor

[Les]

Ok, sorry.  I am running Linux Mint 18.2 with GC 2.6.21.  I am still 
having problems with AlphaVantage but manage to get downloads a couple 
of time per week.

For the record, I have been using GC since 2008.

I setup the new stock by click new account, entered the name of the 
stock and selected stock from the list and selected CAD for currency.  
This took me to the Security Editor where I reentered the stock name and 
its ticker symbol.  I checked get stock quotes and selected AlphaVantage 
for the source.

I then went back to the stock in my investments folder and entered the 
date acquired, the number of shares and the price, then the amount of 
the charge for the purchase, and then selected the brokerage account. 
Clicked save.
