OK, That helps.

That does not happen for me here!  Nothing goes into to brokerage account.  In
fact, nothing goes into any account.  The only entries are as categories,
which, as you say, appear to ignore the ':' separator.  Let's just confirm the
setup.  I have - 

ETF                   Asset
---Satrix             Investment
------Satrix 40       Stock
---Satrix (Brokerage) Checking

Yes, I had added similar to your QIF, and have now edited the qif header to
match your actual setup.

I'm wondering if this absence of account entries is a difference between v4.5
and v1.x???

Has anyone a KMM v1 and v4.5? setup, please?

Incidentally, manually entering a 'yield' activity does appear to work
correctly.
