OK Mike

Well, the good news is that here, using the development version, some of 
the missing items are not missing now.

Many months ago, I did a tidy up in this area as there were several 
minor issues.  If I remember correctly, the Buy area had one or two 
fields removed, after discussion on this list, as they were felt to be 
unneeded clutter.

Here is the status now -

> 1. Buy shares   NO Interest field  -- Still no Interest field
> 2. Sell shares  NO Interest field  -- Interest field is present and
                                         Split icon shows when category
                                         is selected
> 3. Dividend     Interest field no SPLIT Icon -- As for Sell
> 4. Reinvest     Interest field no SPLIT Icon  -- Unchanged

> 7. Interest income  Interest field no SPLIT Icon -- As for Sell

Would you raise a bug report please to ensure it gets attended to.

Thanks

Allan
