Ah! Thank you for this nudge, John. I like using Python. Doing my import 
via Python would likely be very comfortable for me.

This question may end up leading me to learn not just how to automate my 
mac UI, but also how to use the Python bindings in GnuCash.

I have been using the macOS GnuCash app downloaded via GnuCash.org, 
which I understand does not include Python bindings. However, I use 
MacPorts all the time, and it looks like MacPorts will be happy to 
provide me GnuCash with the Python bindings enabled.

I appreciate the pointer. (Well, not pointer exactly, because it is 
Python after all, but… reference?)
