That's actually a good question.  In the handbook, yield and dividend are
considered two different names for the same thing.  However, in the internal
listing of activity types, they are different.  I take them both to be the
payment of cash based on your holdings.  This link
(https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/011315/what-difference-between-yield-and-dividend.asp)
defines yield as essentially the same as dividend, but expressed as a
percentage, but it talks about both as annual figures.  I can imagine KMM
specifying the yield of a stock based on current price and a year's worth of
actual dividend income, but that would be in a report, not a transaction.
How would you distinguish the two in terms of a single transaction?
