Without this information, it's not possible safely to delete an entry<br>
because there's no way of knowing to which account it relates. It can<br>
be done via editing the xml file, but I don't class that as safe. KMM<br>
does allow setting things up the way I did. It would be a pity not to<br>
allow an escape from it.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure why there might be a price without it being related to an<br>
account, but the absence of an account name in the list would be a good<br>
pointer to the presence of a possible error condition.<br>
<br>
If it cannot be done easily, then I'll just have to resort to xml editing.<br>
