When you click in the second? third? column of the register, a drop-down of account
names should drop down; picking something should turn it into a trnasfer.

Right. Its not ascii partly for historical, partly technical reasons.
I know of no 'neutral file format' that I know of (other than quicken qif files
which are so unbearbly broken its not worth discussing.)
