   I know that GC, and particularly lots, isn't for inventory control.
But it was a great excuse to play with a shiny new toy, and see just how
far I could twist it out of shape---on _that_ level it would do what I
want it to do.  :-)  However, I can read the writing on the flat panel...

   Yup, that's what I've been doing, so I'll just stay with it.  The
stock requirements are so trivial, it just doesn't seem worthwhile to
use a separate mechanism, even one so simple as a spreadsheet.

   Thank you both for your clear and well-explained advice; I'll leave
lots until I try to set up stocks on my personal accounts.

   However while I have your attention, I'll ask another possibly-obtuse
question.  Is there any way to associate a transaction (actually, a
split) with a customer without generating an invoice?  I'm looking to
get a report saying customer A spent $X, and customer B spent $Y.
