[GNC] Assigning payment inside a split

[Adrien Monteleone]

This may be a terminology issue, or a misunderstanding on my part, but 
if you have say, more than one split from Checking and you want to apply 
one of them as a payment, GnuCash will do so, but it will ask you which 
one you want to assign.

The other side of this coin is that you can't pay more than one bill to 
different vendors with a single transaction using multiple splits, but 
that doesn't happen in the real world anyway. (you can certainly have 
one payment split that is linked to multiple bills of the same vendor 
though)

Regards,
Adrien
