This didn't work for me (in 2.0.0 r14475:14476).  Menu, but no
apparent action on selecting Edit Exchange Rates.  Ditto on the
"Actions" menu.
(By the way, the help line bottom left says "Exit" not "Edit" for
that entry!)

OK.

Yup, works.  You do have to hop back to the stock-account to set
the number of shares, and price-per-share - otherwise the balance
of share numbers goes off.
