Windows 10. Clock is set to EST.

I don't see the timezone being set in the ofx file. Do you know the tag
and  syntax to set it? I didn't have much luck finding it. I did try
appending the timezone to the transaction and date came out correctly,
but this wouldn't really work well on an ongoing basis. If I could
simply add a one line timzone code at the top of the file, that would
work for me.
