[GNC] newbie question

[Shevach Pepper]

Hello there,
I have two accounts: income (n.ya.) and cash (my pocket)
I got payed $500 from n. ya. and the money is  now in "my pocket".
My problem is when I record in n. ya. charge $500 and in the transfer
column 'my pocket" it records it as a "spent" right hand column.
I just can't figure out why it is like this: According to my logic if it
goes out of income then it should be received by "my pocket"
Can someone help me to figure out my mistake?
Thanks a lot
Shevach
