[GNC] Entering Dividend Confusion

[xboxboy.mageia+GnuCash]

I just wish to thank everyone for their help again.

I've successfully entered 35+ years!! of dividends, franking credits, 
left over credits, and dividend re-investments, name changes, and 
takeovers for one of my long term stocks.

It all balances perfectly (couple hiccups along the way, but I got them 
sorted)!!!!

Thank you all! This has been a multi year project (life gets in the way 
at times), but I honestly see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I really wish I had access to a FREE, OPEN SOURCE accounting package 
like this 20 years ago!

Thank you all. I really, really, honestly appreciate it.
