That's indeed what Derek said, but I he doesn't say "Int" and "Interest" have 
different meanings or that Interest in the A/R and A/P context means something 
differently from "Interest" in the rest of the program. I think they don't. 
Interest is supposed to be the same thing throughout the program.

Derek just referred to the internal implementation of the two action lists. 
The general purpose action list is much longer than the action list for A/P 
and A/R accounts. That's why different action lists are set up.

So I think it is ok to just change "Int" to "Interest".
