[GNC] Import QIF problems on v5

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Alex & GNUCash users, 

There seem to be a lot of questions about importing data lately! 

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Importing.2FExporting_Data - has
everyone having importing issues reviewed the GNUCash FAQ section on
importing & exporting data? 

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade
- it may also help to review this FAQ section on upgrading & downgrading
versions of GNUCash.

Thanks,
