This is the first time I've heard of dividends affecting the basis. 
The report has no provision for that.

I'm adding an option to control whether commissions and other fees 
affect the basis (US style) or not.  In order to fix this and other 
problems, I've had to rewrite the main loop in the report (it was 
getting very convoluted).  The new version is running now, but needs 
more testing.  I'll let you know when it's ready to try.
