Done. All seems well now, OSU works on all four accounts. Hallelujah!

The problem was apparently with a  few old Schwab accounts that were
hidden--so old that I had for forgotten that they had existed.

Again, enormous thanks. I've long thought that I knew Quicken pretty
well, but you clearly know much more about it than I do; I don't think
I could have gotten this fixed without your help.
