Entering Stock Information

[Michael Ward Cole]

I am using Gnucash 1.6.4 on a Debian potato/testing distribution with
linux kernel 2.2.20.  I am trying to enter stock information.  I am
making an account under the Assets:Stock:stockname.  I then open the
account and see the line registry to enter a description, shares, cost,
buy or sell.  I enter the number of shares and the cost and the buy
amount.  But when I leave the line, it converts the number of shares to
equal the buy amount and the cost to $1.  This is perplexing to me.  I
have never used this before so I am just trying to learn how to use it.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
