I was looking at http://www.ofxhome.com today and noticed there is a 
new entry for Bank of America. (Now a total of 4 BofA entries.) I fired 
up Moneydance and refreshed the list of online banks, but the new Bank 
of America entry was not there.  So I tried to use Moneydance's 
Advanced Setup feature to manually enter the OFX data for the new BofA 
entry. It appears that I have entered all of the data correctly because 
I can connect to BofA, but unfortunately BofA rejects the connection 
with the error message below.

I remember many, many years ago Moneydance had an option to change its 
OFX user agent so that the bank would think it was connected to a 
specific version of Quicken for Windows. Moneydance no longer has this 
option in its Preferences UI. Is there some other way to change 
Moneydance's OFX user agent, perhaps by tweaking some config file?
