[GNC] Inconsistency Between Balance of Stock Account and Display in Accounts, File Integrity Check

[rsbrux]

1. My so-called discrepancy was an optical illusion, What I read as 
0.982352 shares was really 0 shares of (valora number) 982352. ;-}

2. I found the file check in the "Actions" menu, under "Check & Repair". ;-}

Boy, do I feel stupid!
