Finally got around to trying this and it works. Seems like it's a good base, 
anyway. You need to provide a mechanism for entering a check number, at 
least. 

Also, with scheduled transactions in a checking account, it seems the only 
way to change the check date is to manually edit it. Given that, shouldn't 
the check date default to the current date rather than to the scheduled due 
date?

There's some funkiness regarding using the Enter key when creating a 
scheduled transaction. When in the middle of entering amounts, if I press 
Enter, I'm kicked out of the entry dialog and nothing is saved. If I've 
completed my entries, nothing happens when I press Enter, I must click OK to 
close the dialog.

When I created an SX for my two Mutual Funds, there was no way to enter the 
share price and number of shares, just the dollar amounts. Is there a way to 
get that info into the SX?

Don't know if this has changed much, I haven't updated from CVS since 
November 23rd.
