[GNC] Ver 5.5 for Windows import issue

[David Carlson]

There is a bit of a learning curve with the process of importing files into
GnuCash, and a major part of it is learning how GnuCash reacts to the
particular text that the financial institution uses in the file.  I have
found that I need to treat files from different banks quite differently.
One FI even reverses the signs of purchases vs payments compared to the
rest of the world (even from other merchants using the same credit card
servicer) in their OFX files.

OFX/QFX, and QIF files all use the generic importer for the bulk of the
import process and CSV imports use a different process depending the
purpose of the import.

If you find that there are any quirks that appear to be wrong or strange
come back here with specific questions.
