This was fixed in a patch sitting in my mailbox. It should materialize
in cvs later tonight.

I've never heard of this before.

There's supposed to be a menu entry called "merge quicken data into account xxx"
and some of the function is sort of there but hasn't been tested ...

msmoney "cheats" its way around this by saying:
!Type:Bank
D12/03/95
T4,706.57
CX
POpening Balance
L[ABCorp MegaBank Checking]
^
msmoney and gnucash both understand that this very first transaction is special,
and that abc megabank is the name of the current account, rather than the usual
meaning for L[xxx] which is "withdrawal from account xxx".
There are sample qif files in the "data" subdirectory, check out ms-money.qif
for an example.
