Yes, I know, but I didn't see how you could enter it manually, as in
your QIF, you are treating it as an investment activity.  Now, here's
the issue, as it seems to me.

'IntInc' is treated in KMM as a deposit, and does not expect any stock.
A 'Div' activity, on the other hand, is treated as an investment
involving a stock, and is set up to generate a second split.

I've edited your QIF to make one activity a 'Div' (or 'DivX') and,
having  sorted out some issues, it imports as you want, with the
category correctly handled (split) and the amount being dropped into the
Brokerage account.

I'm a bit reluctant to hack about the IntInc handling to cope with your
requirement, for fear it may cause upset elsewhere.  Are you able to
cope with converting your IntInc activity codes to Div?  Otherwise,
although the Int Inc does now correctly handle categories with
sub-categories, they have no account allocated for the deposit,
which would have to be handled manually.

Is this satisfactory?
