Nope, the business stuff isn't in the registers at all.  This is
why you NEED to use the Invoice and "Process Payment" functions
through the menus and NOT use the registers..  The registers have
no clue about the business features.

Now, it might be worth it to add a "contact database" and migrate
the customer and vendor list to a common "contacts DB".  And then
we could tie the check-printing and register payees into the
contacts DB.
