That must be some new-fangled code in 1.6.x.  I don't have that button
in 1.4.x.  As long as it only shows the split for the current
transaction, yes, that would work, kindof.  But then, wouldn't you still
have to go the each account in the split, open that account, put it in
double-line (with memo) mode, and enter the memo information there?
Ideally, you should be able to enter all split information (memo and
all) for a given transaction all at once.

Forgive me for being a little behind, but given all the bug reports
posted about 1.6.x, I'm gonna wait for a while before I upgrade.
