[GNC] multi-currency imports

[Ove Grunnér]

Hello,

I use QIF to import all my imports, including stocks and multi currency and
it just works, not sure why.
I use the latest GnuCash version that comes with CentOS.
I use trading accounts and when I have a currency exchange I only populate
the two entries and the two trading account transactions are then added by
GnuCash.

It is only possible to assign one currency in the import file, but with QIF
import the currency is based on the Account and the amount based on the T
Field.
Note that the below example is manually edited, but I hope I have no
mistakes in it.
The example below is for two different transactions to two different
accounts. If you need an example of a currency exchange I can include one
example of that as well.

kind regards Ove.
