[Kmymoney] Import from MoneyDance

[Shane Rice]

Right, I did try that.  I created a Soles cash account with the currency 
set as PEN, however when I import, because the account is tied to 
another account (via transfers) it imports it as US $.  I pull money 
from the ATM, and enter it as a 'transfer' from bank account to Cash 
Soles account with the transfer rate.  Example, if I pull $5 from the 
bank it get's converted to PEN in Moneydance, and shows 13.5 PEN.  So 
when that get's imported, it shows both as US$ and really makes a mess 
of things.  I appreciate the help!
