: Hi Henry,
: To retrieve historical prices, change the quote server under "Options/
: Internet Settings..." to "Yahoo (Historical)", and then click the
: internet retrieve button on the toolbar. You will be prompted for a
: date range to request prices. You can only obtain 200 quotes per request,
: so you will want to break it up into several 6 month or so chunks.

: Thanks,

I followed these instructions but after the import, the stocks with splits look all screwed up. It's like the splits were not handled. How can I rectify this?
