Hi Alvaro

That helps a lot!  I'm pleased to say that the block delete and the
inclusion of the names enabled me to sort out the remaining problems I
had in my file.  They were residual prices from when I set up several
securities in an investment account when what I should have done was use
a single security in several investment accounts, and then the removal
of the unwanted securities.

I thought I would have to edit the xml file to do it fully, but that
turned out not to be necessary.  So, a big thank you for the speedy
improvement.  It helped to lighten an otherwise frustrating day!
