[moneytalks] Re: problem with qif file fix

Hi,
one of my downloaded qif file's top line contains:
!Type:Bank

D01/03/2005

T-100.00

CX

N 

P 

M 

^

The above transaction is a $100 debit 

The process  I use may not be correct, but it is the only way I can import the 
downloaded qif file.
Why would you stop me from doing so in the future release of MT?
if you do that, I want be able to import from my bank.
& I have 2 banks. I guess their qif files are not the correct format.
So I beg you please dont change things unless it makes it better and not worse.
I have become fun of MT, & would like to purchase it, if it works with my bank 
qif files.
