How to Manually Track a Collection of Stocks & Stuff Combined into a Single Share

[Roger Miskowicz]

I went through the section 9.5.3 Entering Pre-Existing Stocks for about the
fifth time.  Don't know what I did differently but it now works as
expected.  Before it used to crash when I tried a price update.

Actually it still crashes when I click on Apply instead of Ok when editing
a Price Entry.  (I think, I need to check it out more to determine exactly
what I am doing to cause the crash).

Is there a related bug in 2.6.12?
