Exchange Rates

When I update my price histories, a series of exchange rates are also
downloaded. I am using Quicken HAB 2009 (Cdn version) and I have one
mutual fund in $US. Quicken converts the $US value of the fund into
Canadian when I view the value of all my accounts. However, I cannot
find anywhere what exchange rate Quicken uses - I know it's
downloaded, but where do I find the listing or price history of the
exchange rate in Quicken?

Thanks,

Doug

OK, found the currency list under the tools menu with the exchange
rate history, but the history only goes back one month. Have been
using the "update" button for almost a year - don't understand why the
currency list only has one month of data for any currency listed.

Thanks,

Doug

On a tangent, this has been a minor grip since ... whenever I
started to want to follow investments in Quicken. Aside from Cash,
Stock and Bonds, how do I follow it? Getting price updates for
ForEx, precious metals, and da kind.
Just one of those gripes.
