This problem will get a lot easier when some planned changes make it
into the 1.5 tree.  It's related to the problem of foreign currency
exchange, and to the problem of stock splits.  For the time being, you
can just make up a price and do it as you describe, but it's not going
to be very fun... the register doesn't like to let you do this kind of
stuff.  Within the next couple of months, this should be fixed in the
1.5 series.
