Victor,

   The coordinates tab has the origin at the upper left corner, just like
PostScript.

   This brings up another point and I do not recall reading about it in the
help or guide manuals: what are 'splits' on A/P checks? My understanding of
a split is having multiple off-setting accounts (e.g., expense or liability)
to an asset acount (e.g., checking). If I'm paying a telephone company,
accountant, or other vendor I might have multiple invoices to be paid on a
single check (with each one listed on the stubs), but I've not before known
those to be referred to as splits.

Thanks,

Rich
