Most helpers on this list are up to date and don't go backwards.  You 
could help yourself in this regard.  Common language and all that.

>Assets:Investments:Mutual Fund:Fund_A: Shares 18.296, Price 32.7940, Tot
>Buy 600
>Income:Mutual Fund:Fund_A: Tot Sell 600

There may be a rounding error, however

sounds wrong

I don't have a home screen, where do I buy one?

>3. Totals on home screen against the parent Mutual Fund account is also

see above, I don't have a home screen.

>Is there something I have missed? It seems simple enough to me - income
>600 reinvested should raise balance by 18.296.

At the moment I'm thinking your view is through the Home screen that 
no-one else has.

The basic reinvestment sums do work but I've no idea about your apparent 
view.
