Thanks for posting, David. I was blinkered by what I was used to, but I
think you're right, it's just a matter of training myself to type
something unique from the interior when starting at the beginning would
come up with the account I didn't want.

All my accounts payable begin with "AP ", and all my accounts receivable
with "AR ". Maybe I should move those to the end of the account names.
I'll think on that for a while.
