Hi Finbar,

Assuming that you are in basic  single line view mode in the register of the 
account that you are transferring from, then Description sounds right, 
Transfer would be the "destination" account and withdrawal of 1000. 
(effectively exactly the same as paying a credit card bill etc.)

Yes.  (assuming both are bank (asset) accounts - the labels might be different 
in other type account.)
