Resend: Stock sale skews balance sheet by commission amount

[TRunner]

I don't know to either determine or modify what currency this  
particular transaction used.  Where do I look?  I tried to choose  
"Edit Exchange Rate" from the context menu, but nothing happened when  
I picked that item (no menu displayed or anything).  The account  
seems to be set for the correct commodity, as far as I can tell.
