[GNC] Importing csv files

[Geoff]

Hi Rudy

The easiest way to learn is to set up a dummy GnuCash book with a few 
accounts and transactions (doubtless you have done this already as part 
of your evaluation), do an EXPORT from GnuCash, and study the structure 
of the CSV files produced by GnuCash.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
