I think what you may be missing is in splits, there has to be a line for 
the current register's transaction in the split itself. So for example 
the above example would look something like this:

Checking account:                               $1000.00
Mortgage Interest:     $100.00
Mortgage escrow:      $300.00
Mortgage Principle;   $600.00


When you do the above, $1000.00 would appear in the checking account 
line from the split where you enter the amount for the checking account. 
You don't enter it directly, but in the splits. So you're 3 part split 
is actually a 4 part split. :)
