I went through something similar only a while back:

There are way smarter, and experienced people than me here, so wait for 
them, but in the mean time I would:

Make sure the account for the shares, in under equity, and classified as 
a stock account, not a currency.

Open that account: Just start entering the transaction ie date, memo etc.

And as you do this (it did for me anyway) gnucash picks up you're doing 
a stock allocation, not currency, and the columns change, to what's 
necessary: You may have to click the split button to get this to occur.

HTH, but I've probably explained terribly.

Good luck.
