[GNC] Merging multiple .OFX for import

[Doug]

I think you are making it hard on yourself: I import my accounts monthly, & 
reconcile so I can check for fraudulent transactions.
 I have previously had difficulty importing multiple files, so now do it singly.
Not sure if there is another way to perform what you want, but I feel it 
would be easier using .csv files  (which could be edited first).

regards, Doug
