Three currency transaction?

Hi All,
	I'm guessing this is unusual and that is why it doesn't seem to
work. I have a UK credit card (GBP) that I used in Italy (EUR) and my
expense accounts (and my default currency) are in USD. I have a Currency
account in EUR which is how I usually deal with foreign transactions with
my US cards (so I can express the EUR value somewhere).
	So I posted a transaction for 14 EURs to my UK credit card. THe
card was debited GBP 9.91. The line in the Credit Card Account is;

10/7/2005 Rotunda	Currency:Euros 		9.91 <balance>

then in the Currency:Euros account;

10/7/2005 Rotunda	Li..:Credit..  14.00 .707   9.91 <balance>

So it is assuming that the 9.91 was in Dollars, even though the
Li..:Credit..:MBNA has a GBP currency.
	Is there some way this is suppose to work?

						regards,

						Stephen.
