You do realize that that simply stated goal will take a lot of effort on
your part don't you?

Try your mind. It has almost unlimited expansiveness and can learn over
time. Why do you think you need more help than the help file gives you.
Many have learned Quicken fairly well with little else. Take things one
step at a time and you'll get there.

read the help file to you mind you (You were aware of this were you
not?) for a price.

Think about it. What would you want Quicken to suggest? "We suggest that
you hook up with some organization that we know nothing about, have not
tested, etc. That oughta assure you have the best streamlined and
integrated access with Quicken with the fewest problems". Yeah right...
