I have always done an account at a time, but supposedly, the last version of
Exchange and Wildcat (on the Mac, at least) allow for multiple accounts in a
QIF file. I never tested it, because I was too afraid to mess up my data. If
you are starting fresh, however, you may want to experiment on fresh, test
files, and see what happens. I never had the time do do this, and my Newton
was full of information that I didn't want to risk. :-) I will grant that
the PM way of transferring data isn't nearly as seamless as with Pocket
Quicken. It's a shame, really, that PM couldn't use the PQC software as
well. A QIF file is a QIF file, and all versions read older QIF files fine.
Newer ones supposedly have the capacity to contain multiple accounts, but
like I said, I've never tested that feature.

I commented on this in another email, but theoretically it's possible. I
believe that the latest version of Exchange (2.03) can do both uploads and
downloads. I have used this to import categories. It requires the latest
version of Wildcat to accomplish this. According to:
<http://www.catamount.com/PocketMoney3.html#WildCat> WildCat for Windows
does download transactions to the Newton. :-) Good news.
Oh, and you don't have to remove PQ to use PM. They live fine together. :-)
Now for the really good news. If you have a lot of transactions in Pocket
Quicken, you can use the "Pocket Quicken to Pocket Money" utility package to
convert your PQ files to Pocket Money. I don't know but this might be very
useful for you. :-)
I hope this information helps. BTW, the web site is still active, so have a
look around the above url.
