[GNC] Automatic Price Retrieval

I would like GnuCah to retrieve prices automatically each time I open it. The documentation describes the "Get Quotes" feature as "automatic", but I still have to remember to open the Price Editor and click "Get Quotes". Is there a way to make price retrieval fully automatic?
