Thanks for the prompt.  At first, I thought that was it, but the 
security was still open.  However, the equity account was closed, but I 
hadn't set the flag to show equity accounts, so missed it.

Reopening the equity allowed editing of the transaction.  Must remember 
that as showing equity accounts makes too much clutter.

Thanks, Dave.
