[GNC] Mutual Fund Dividend After Sale

[David Carlson]

If you had previous dividends open up one of those transactions, then while
the curser is sitting in the description box click Transaction > Duplicate
Transaction.  Set the date to the correct date, then tab down to the last
split line and add a split to the security account.  No need to enter any
values other than a memo describing why you did that.
