xfer between accounts question

[Derek Atkins]

The check number is part of the transaction.  It shows up in all
views of the transaction.

The transaction is not a deposit; it's moving money from one account
to the other.  The transaction descriptions (including the 'number'
are the same for all sides of the transaction.
