Ah .......... That is what had me confused about "three way splits"
1) A single debit and more than one credit or a single credit and more
than one debit I would call a "one way split" (only one side of the
transaction is split). You enter these beginning with the side that is
single (enter transaction from that account) but instead of hitting
enter, hit split. That will bring up an expanded view of the
transaction. Simply change the amount (on the split side) and specify
the account and hit enter. What remains will appear on a new line as
Imbalance, change that to the correct account, change the amount to be
right for that account, and hit enter.
2) What I would call a "two way split" would be a transaction that is
split on BOTH the debit and the credit side. I suggest people not
attempt those until pretty experienced with one way splits. It will take
a little "playing around" to get a two way split transaction entered, so
for now easier to use two consecutive transactions.
