[moneydance] Mult-Currency

[Gavin Treadgold]

The multi-currency accounts work fine. The only thing I've noted has  
been that the Stock Prices panel on the home page converts every  
stock traded (including those traded in other currencies) to the home  
currency. This makes no sense as for stock prices it is more useful  
to display the stock price that they are traded in - as those are the  
values you'll see when visiting financial websites.

Other than that, its all good :)

Cheers Gav
