There are usually two kinds of events that cause the change of value
of a retirement account: 1) distribution of capital gains/dividends,
which is a realized gain, and 2) change of the NAV of the funds, which
is an unrealized gain.  What I'm doing is: for 1), enter a transaction
that increases the value (or number of shares, if you do reinvestment)
of the account and balance it with an income account, and for 2), just
edit (or download) the price table for the funds.
