Thank you for your help Allan.
I believe I have now SOLVED the problem with the Quicken 2000 QIF file!

a) Quicken 2000 allows users to have Securities without a Ticker Symbol 
which results in a short !Type:Security item and probably confuses the 
KMyMoney file parser. The result is that all other !Type:Security are 
replaced by the one with the short item in the Investment Account 
Ledger, even though the securities are imported into the 
Investment->Securities view list. This should be fixed in KMyMoney.

b) Quicken 2000 has an investment category ReinvInt for reinvesting 
interest in addition to a ReinvDiv for reinvesting Dividends. This makes 
a difference in some tax regimes.   KMyMoney only has Reinvesting 
Dividends so Reinvesting Interest needs to be added to KMyMoney. 
KMyMoney currently skips all transactions containing ReinvInt categories.

c) I fixed the above problems by adding a Ticker Symbols to offending 
Securities and replacing ReinvInt with ReinvDiv in my QIF file.  This is 
a tedious editing job and therefore the KMyMoney parser needs updating.
