Yes, I under stand this.  The only issue that "may" be remaining is how KMM
handles cash transactions related to a security.  These seem to come in tagged
as miscellaneous transactions. They seem to, mostly, be corrections to prior
mis stated transaction.  They are new transactions and are not DIV BUY or SELL,
and, it seems should only affect the cash amount related to the given security
(although I might want DIV corrections to be correctly tagged for tax reasons).
