OK, I've added fees for Dividend payments.  However, just to be clear,
when you say "Schwab shows them as separate transactions", are you
saying there are two transactions, one for the dividend payment in
full, and a separate one for the fee?  If the latter, then strictly
speaking, the fee transaction is not a dividend payment, so was there
then a problem with this?  If so what, exactly?
