Reinvested Capital Gains distributions may be imported from your broker as
Reinvested Dividend transactions.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
This issue depends on how the broker records the data that is to be
exported to MSN Investor.
 
Some brokers may have legacy code for the reinvest portion of investing
income which may not make the distinction between Long Term Capital Gains
(CGLONG) and Short Term Capital Gain (CGSHORT) and Dividends (DIV).
