[GNC] Mutual Fund Class Conversion

[Jack Frillman]

That make sense except for the "The value you attribute to this 
transaction should be the total cost base of DFMGX, so that DFMLX 
inherits the same cost base."
How do I do that?
When I reduce DFMGX by 410.20900 shares to 0 transfer them to the new 
DFMLX with the transaction drop-down selection thingy?
   OR
Do I just reduce DFMGX by 410.20900 shares to 0 by dumping them into a 
trash account then enter a new balance of 410.08500 in the DFMLX account?
