Perhaps it was a context thing that made the difference with the
transfer dialog.  Starting from the Transfer button, the box was
understandable and  happened to have preselected a security account so
the two ratio boxes were understandable enough that one of them looked
like a price per share even though the word price was absent.  That
wasn't the way it looked in the past when I would get slapped by it
while trying to enter stock transactions and I wasn't even expecting it
to appear.

The new help page is hard to read but I want to try the new logic that
it is describing before I make any suggestions for changes.
