The CUSIP-broken:nnnnnn securities came from a preview version of  
Moneydance that dealt with broken OFX files in a less-than-perfect  
way.  It should be possible to clean up your data by doing the  
following:
  1) switching all transactions that touch the CUSIP-broken:nnnnnn  
security account to the properly named security account using the  
Security field in the investment register.
  2) delete the CUSIP-broken:nnnnnn security account in the  
investment register
  3) delete the CUSIP-broken:nnnnnn entry from the "Edit Securities"  
window

The current stable version of MD doesn't have the same CUSIP-broken  
issue.

Thanks,
Sean
