Can I get the current balance of an account as a variable? Say, to get 
the current principal balance of a loan for calculating interest for a 
loan. The SX would look like:
         Acct		Deposit		Withdrawal
	Checking:			$1000.00=<pmt>
	Loan:		<pmt>-<int>-<escr>
	Interest:	<loan principal>*.06/12=<int>
	Escrow:		$244.64=<escr>

<pmt> and <escr> are fixed and manually entered, the rest gets calculated.

Is that possible?
