I'd wondered what View Lots was supposed to do - nothing happens (at 
least in my experience) until you hit that "Scrub Account".

In addition to what you said, it rebuilds your "Sell" transaction, 
splitting the sale into two parts: one for (all of) the first lot, and 
the second for the remainder. No doubt this extends in the obvious way to 
more than two lots.
