I gave it a shot, by editing out all the other accounts from the QIF.  It sort 
of worked, but the QIF importing of investment accounts is so poor that what 
comes in is all messed up, and would require the investment of more hours of 
editing and finetuning than I care to do...

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait to see if the exporting/importing of XML 
ever gets more sophisticated...
