[moneydance] Totally bogus downloads

I just updated to the latest preview, 568, but there's a load of 
downloaded investment transactions (Schwab) that are still hosed 
in 'show downloaded transactions'.

I closed out a Schwab account and transferred all the securities 
to another account. Schwab then let MD download all these 
transactions as share transfers 'out' of the old account, but MD 
just displays them as 'TRANSFER' transactions of zero dollars to 'Checking'.

MD allows me to change the Action to e.g. 'SellXfr', but (1) 
proposes 12/31/1969 as the Date (I can correct that, the 
downloaded list shows the correct date, MD is just ignoring it) 
and (2) doesn't show the number of shares; the latter is what 
makes it basically impossible to correct these transactions in 
order to record them. That's why they are still sitting in 
'downloaded', because it's too hard to accept them into the account.

I would try to print a portfolio report giving the number of 
shares for each security, then I can correct the transactions in 
order to enter them...But--I can't find any way to print a 
portfolio report giving the current number of shares of each 
security in the account.

Does anybody know how to print a report giving the number of 
shares of each security in an account?

I would love to get my data file back in order again, but even 
the latest release of MD is mishandling these downloaded 
transactions so badly it's a royal pain.

PS I entered this in the bug tracking system some weeks ago, so 
hopefully it's on a list for future bug fixes.
