Hi Timothy

I wouldn't waste time trying to produce a QIF file via the CSV plugin.
It's now really there for historical reasons and because I haven't had
time to remove it.

However, if you attempted to use the plugin, did you try to follow
through to complete the import?

However, if you already have a QIF file, then that needs to be made to
work.  To be sure I try to do what you tried, can you send me your QIF
file direct, with any private info disguised.
