Hmmmmm - - - to change the periods to colons. I think that might create
even more 'challenges'.

2014.07.17        Superstore - fuel
    Expense: fuel - gas - clear: 9350.10.51.01                    $   19.05
    Expense: fuel - gas - clear: 9764.01.04.00                    $    4.76
    Expense: GST -- personal: 8762.10.10.20                        $    0.95
    Expense: GST - business: 8762.10.10.10                        $    0.24
    Asset: PC Financial: 1002.70.20.00                           $   -25.00

Above is one transaction - - -  not the most complicated but one of the not
simple ones.

I'm not sure how I could have a human readable account 'name' and then a
highly granular account number with colons for dividers on the number.
I think if I used colons for numerical dividers I would need to discard the
human readable 'account name'.
Then if I just did an search and replace (quite a few hours of work I think
if I have to go through all over 9000 lines already entered) so that the
'period' that is used for a numerical place holder (at least in North
American systems) wouldn't be changed.
My programming skills are really not up to trying to program it (skills
almost non-existent in all honesty!).

Thanking you for your assistance and consideration!!!
