     Hi David,

   Chris,
   In the Considerations point number 3 just above Table 9.4 you state
   that the automatic scrubbing will not work correctly if older (closing)
   transactions (my paraphrase) combine the sale and the value adjustment
   for the capital gain into one transaction.  The examples at the
   beginning describes doing exactly that. If that is correct, perhaps the
   examples should be annotated with that caveat and a reference to tables
   9.4 and 9.5 given.

     PS
     If you are going to rescrub an account, don't forget to delete the
     lots
     before you delete the capital gain transactions as I have found this
     can
     cause problems. See

     I'll update the documentation about this soon.
