Thanks.  Either of those is shorter than what I came up with, although 
mine does seem to work (looking with gdb.)

My current problem is that I'm trying to add a "go to brokerage" line 
after the "go to account" and "go to payee" menu choices, but it is not 
appearing in any of the menus (either main menu or context menu.)  I 
can't find anywhere in the code where either of the old ones appears 
where I haven't added the new one, so I don't know what I am missing.
