Associated Income Acconuts

[Dustin Henning]

	Someone replied to this and I accidentally deleted it.  IIRC, they
said to change it from the transaction matcher.  I haven't been able to
figured out what they mean.  I assume it should be obvious, but I'm at a
loss.  I'm in MS Windows and there are three buttons on the bottom of that
window: Help, Cancel, and OK.  I have tried right-clicking all over the
place and not had any luck.  I did notice that I can double-click to match a
transaction (which will be helpful in a situation I come across where
multiple transactions for the same amount don't match right), but when I
double-click on a "New, already balanced" line, nothing happens (I'm pretty
sure that's what the dividend and/or interest lines I want to associate say,
because I have previously associated the wrong income account).  Obviously I
could just edit the XML file, but since that response makes it look like
this should be doable in the GUI, could I get another hint?  Thanks,
	Dustin

	I own some securities that pay dividends.  I don't enter the
information, as I can import it from ofx/qfx.  The first time I import a
dividend payment for an account, I am prompted to select an income account
to associate with that security account.  I have accidentally chosen the
wrong account for this at least once.  I can't seem to find a way to change
these associatons from within the security editor, and the dividend section
of the tutorial (Windows .chm included with 2.4.10) doesn't even mention
them.  I also tried checking the help file (also Windows .chm included with
2.4.10), but wasn't sure where to look, and searching in Windows help wasn't
helpful.  I looked at the XML, and this is what I want to change for a
security:

    <slot>
      <slot:key>ofx/associated-income-account</slot:key>
      <slot:value type="guid">8131255975f5830fb8e464cd3e4a5fea</slot:value>
    </slot>

Can this be done from the GUI?  Thank you,
	Dustin
