I never said you should change the accounting lables, I asked if another 
option could be added.

I must agree with Leo.

I am not an accountant, I am not a bank.
I want to see my money from my perspective.  

How about another choice of display prefs?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I want to be able to change what I don't like, easlily if possible.  I hardly 
see how text fields and a flag can be any sort of problem.  Put the lables in 
resources/whatever so I can make them anything I want.  I like the way the 
Asset registers work with deposit and withdrawal, that I understand and I can 
easilly apply that understanding to all other account types.  

An option for static lables, the user can choose, maybe?
