Hi Dave

The green highlighting is to focus the user's selection, to allow 
detection of possible erroneous selections, ie. wrong starting line or 
inclusion of a trailer line, or wrong column, before the actual import. 
  Red highlighting shows detected problems.  I think this is covered in 
the manual, although that now needs another overhaul.

The Finish button saves the settings before quitting, whereas the Cancel 
does not.  In fact, it shouldn't show until after the import, but a late 
change has upset it.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone finds a use for the 'Make QIF File' 
feature.  The whole project started as a CSV to QIF converter, but has 
outgrown that, and I'd like to simplify things and drop it now, if I 
don't get any protests.
