can this be done

Most users make the accounts in the software follow what happens in  
their real accounts.  If you buy something with the credit card, you  
add a transaction for that purchase.  If you move money from your  
checking account to the credit card, you add a transaction for that  
transfer.  Yes, you could move the money from checking to credit card  
in KMM so you think that money is no longer available to spend in the  
checking account, but then when you actually pay the credit card from  
the checking account, you can't enter that transaction, since you have  
already transferred those funds within KMM.  I suppose you could then  
delete those transactions and just enter the one for the real payment,  
but that seems like a lot of extra bookkeeping.  Another choice would  
be to create a second checking account in KMM, so the two KMM checking  
accounts really represent the one real checking account, with one  
representing the amount put aside for paying the credit card (or other  
bills.)  Is this close to what you are looking for?
