I owe you an apology, for some reason your comment seemed "snarky"
so my reply was also. I see now what you meant but either way there
was no reason for me to reply as I did.

In view of Quicken's statement I felt it unnecessary and might even
be harmful but I did it and it was harmful but only to Billminder.
I deleted the .rmd file and all is well again.

I don't doubt it but that's not a concern to me, I should explain
that after more years than I care to tell of struggling with Linux,
GnuCash, MSFT Money, MoneyDance, etc. I decided that Linux wouldn't
work for me and Quicken was going to be the ONLY financial program
I'd use.

If Intuit ever decides to port Quicken and TurboTax over to Linux
I'll re-investigate Linux, if Intuit does indeed drop the PC version
of Quicken, I'll investigate alternatives but I believe the chances
of either occurring are very small.
