I don’t think I have more than one asset account for INTC, and none of the trading accounts shows any transactions outside of the one I am using. I am pretty sure I did not create a 2nd asset INTC (and doubt Gnucash would have let me), but I may have edited / moved it from NYSE to INTC in the security editor (which answers my last question, I guess ;-). No worries, only about 5 trades in the asset account (and each trading account); I am mostly worried about loosing 20 years of pricing history, which is why I was looking for a way to export.
The issue came up when I started using Actions/View lots for calculating cap gains (working, but would need some work, such as an indication of the purchase date or lot in the automated entry, or way to define/edit a new lot, I think..)
