That's absolutely logical and true.  However, I was reporting an observation
while in debug mode.  I saved a file and the consistency message popped up, and
there happened to be only that one transaction in the account - not a real-life
situation, I agree.

In actual fact, though, the message will come if there are no transactions
there.  What I'd done was create a new security, and, to avoid having to go
through the process again after the next build, I saved the file.  In the
meantime, though, I had manually entered a single dividend transaction to
explore the problem.  The message arose because no price had been entered, not
because a dividend had been entered which would not have a price!

What I previously said was over-condensed version of the situation, but still
true.  However, apologies....
