[GNC] mortgage calculator

[D.]

I manually edit each mortgage entry as well. I use the mortgage statements to reconcile the final amounts. 

I mean, there aren't that many transactions to consider. I don't see this as much of a burden.

Sorry, no.

This is a long-standing limitation of the calculator (and trust me, it's
been hitting me forever!!).

The MAIN issue is the lack of a "GetBalanceAsOfDate()" function usable
within the scheduled transaction (SX) functions, and tied into the SX
system where it can supply the date as part of the SX firing methods. 
Adding it is, unfortunately, not as straightforward as you would think,
which is why nobody has done it, yet.

Me, I just periodically go through and update the P/I splits from my
mortgage and loan statements.

Sorry,
