Record one cheque covering multiple bills

[Keith Clark]

Maybe I am not explaining my issue properly.  Here are the details.

Accounts Payable, Bell Canada.
Two invoices, #000004 $201.36, #000017 $211.50

I made a payment of $412.86.

When I enter it into the Cheque Book register, I cannot seem to be able
to assign the payment to each individual bill.  The bills still remain
unpaid, but the Accounts Receivable-Bell Canada account is adjusted
properly overall.
