I've dealt with this many times in the past, for example a mutual fund 
is renamed.

Updating to the new name and symbol was done using Security Editor. I 
just checked for a random stock, and I can change the Full Name, 
Symbol/abbreviation, Display symbol, etc. Changing these updates any 
accounts that reference the stock, as far as the Security/currency of 
the account is concerned.

The only other thing I had to do was rename each account uses the 
pertinent security. Not necessary for things to remain functional, but I 
like the name of the account to match the security.
