Unfortunately the PocketSense scripts won't help Matt because those 
scripts work by connecting to a bank's OFX server which is something 
Moneydance already does. The problem Matt (and I) would like to find a 
solution for is how to automate downloading transactions from a bank's 
web site and not its OFX server.
