GB-based mutual funds in USD

What's the name and symbol you're trying to use? Does MSN Money report it
using USD or GBP ?

I'm trying to track my mutual funds in Money 2005 but most of them are based
in a currency different from their country. I can find the symbol using the
"Find Symbol" button, for example in Great Britain, but that changes the
Country/Region to Great Britain and displays a dialog that says, "Changing
the country/region associated with this investment will also change the
currency associated with its price history. Are you sure you want to change
the country/region for this investment?" But the fund is USD-based, and the
prices Money downloads for it are the USD prices - but it records them as
Pounds Sterling!

Has anyone else found a way to get around this crazy assumption that Money
makes that a mutual fund must be in the same currency as its country?
