Setup account for Bonds

[Robin Chattopadhyay]

Each bond has to have its own 'commodity' (Tools --> Security Editor -->
Add) . Set up a single security for each combination of maturity and coupon
rate. Once you have the bond themselves set up, you will be able to select
them from the Security/Currency field.

Each bond would also has to have its own asset account.

For example, I have the following account tree for some Series EE savings
bonds.

ASSETS
 --> Investments
--> --> EE Savings Bonds
--> --> --> Series 2003-01
--> --> --> Series 2004-05
--> --> --> Series 2007-01
--> --> Brokerage Account
--> --> --> Target (TGT)
--> --> --> Disney (DIS)
--> --> --> etc. etc.
