This seems strange.  BUY would be what Quicken puts out from a combined account
(i.e. security/brokerage in one account).  I is my impression that the "X"
suffix ishttp://www.respmech.com/mym2qifw/qif_new.htm used if the security is
paid for from another (Quicken) account.  In my full QIF dump of 7 or 8
security accounts I only see BUYX in the Prices data.

Here is a reference to BUYX: http://www.respmech.com/mym2qifw/qif_new.htm

That said, the issue I submitted this bug report for was what was happening
when I imported a Quicken QIF and found "missing cat" errors on all the
security transactions. And then when I tried to fix it, the edit routine
produced the Brokerage account as a default, which should have allowed me to
just push the "Enter" button, but it was greyed out. 

Even this is a lot of work given that we are "traders" and have a LOT of
transactions to process.

Given all this, I have written a script to pre-process the QIF.  Should I be
replacing all the BUYs with BUYX??

Given that QIF is (in my opinion) the best way to move to a new accounting
program and that KMM does not handle all actions I think it would be nice if
the KMM project posted the QIF spec it is implementing.
