Interesting. How does one do "gnc-fq-dump currency" on Windows? How does 
one provide the AlphaVantage key?

Hi Jim,

You have to set the key in the cmd environment before invoking gnc-fq-dump.
E.g.

cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin
set ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=##############
gnc-fq-dump alphavantage CSCO
