You are most welcome. What I ended up doing is saving all the Quicken
individual account files in every export format I could figure out
(created dozens and dozens of files in .qif, .txt, .csv, .xlsx
formats), just in case like you, I decided I needed the data later for
some reason. So far, I've not needed them.
Those files are backed up six ways from Sunday along with all the
other stuff I think has "saving value".
Perhaps that technique would work for you, too.

I had been thinking I wanted all the historical transactions but
you've started me thinking a bit differently.
I suppose I could keep the old machine and AceMoney files to prepare
2018 taxes... and start transaction files in Gnucash as of Jan. 1
2019. (I can probably brute force my way through getting one month
of data into the new system.)
I need to give more thought to downside of losing the old records.
We have mined them before for several different reasons. Not sure if
casting them aside might be regretted later. (I really want to get
rid of the windows machine... not keep it around any longer than
necessary. I'm a convert to Apple and really don't like Microsoft.
Although Apple has adopted many of their business practices and now
also frustrates me, their hardware and drivers are sure more stable
and give me fewer headaches.)
Appreciate the assistance from you and David.
