Heh. Sorry.
My understanding of the above situation, is that if you process payment by 
selecting A, then A and B will be marked as paid, and there will be a sum 
allocated to C, but that isn't explicitly shown anywhere. (The ageing report 
will show that that customer only owes $100, though)  

However, if you start the process payment dialog with invoice B, for a payment 
of $200, then B will be marked as paid, leaving A and C unpaid.  
AFAIK, you can't pay B & C in a single txn, leaving A unpaid.  

Also, I don't believe that the aging report specifically shows paid/unpaid 
status on an invoice, I think that the "paid" flag is _only_ visible in the 
Find Customer -> Customer's Invoices dialog 

Warlord is THE expert on all this....
