TD Ameritrade file - csv format, but with .xls extension #80

Seems like TD Ameritrade's file is a CSV file format, but has a .xls file extension.

My guess is that they do that to help signal to Excel to open the document.

My version (latest?) of excel prompts with this security warning:

Given that, I question whether I want to support this file format...let me think.

all TD Ameritrade accounts are being migrated to schwab, also, i believe...so even less likely that spending time to do this is a good investment. Closing.
