Hi Joe,
Glad you solved the internet retrieve problem.
The format of your .prn file looks like it
is slightly different than .prn files exported
from Quicken that I've seen before. It is missing
the double quotes around each number. What
version of Quicken did you export these prices
from?

You can easily import this data with the generic
import command though. Use "File/Import/Prices/
Generic...". The format string would be:

UD,NAV,HH,LL,XX

You would "specify" the symbol, but not the date.

Thanks,
Mark
