is not used for ordering, etc. It is
used when generating statistics though.
The Transaction Type and Spend Type are
one of the lists provided in the Set
Preferences option. If you want to enter
something that is not in the list, use
the text type. This brings up a sub
dialog to enter free text.
If the auto cheque numbering option is
on and the transaction type is set to
chq, then a dialog box with the next
free cheque number will pop up.
If the currency is set to anything other
than default then a dialog pops up with
the exhange rate details. They can be
changed later from the edit transaction
option. You only need specify one of
Rate and Amount in default. The other
will be calculated from it.

be sure that the account totals are
correct. This is only needed if the
total is changed. If you don't do this
the totals may be confusing, but can
always be corrected at any later time.

file which will have the same
transaction but with the negative amount
added to it.

Remove the transaction from the
statement. A recalc may be needed to
bring all the totals back into
agreement.

account is searched from the next row to
