info about action field in double-line view

[Jeff Abrahamson]

The num field[*] is for the check number or other accounting document.  
(In a business situation, you always need to have some unique identifier 
between accounting entries and the physical or electronic documents that 
justify them in case of control (=audit).


[*] I say this because it makes sense in the context of accounting, not 
because I actually know what was in the developers' minds when they 
implemented it.
