Thanks.  I'll need to upgrade to at least 2.6.7.

But I thought I did have the commission go to expense, as shown here:

Also, I just did a Balance Sheet report and uploaded to here:

and it shows 100.0 shares of SHA1 with value of $100.0, which doesn't
reflect the commission fee of $5.00.  Could you let me know what
I'm missing?
