[GNC] How can I record reinvestment of Treasury securities?

I have purchased T-Bills and other treasury securities with an automatic
reinvestment feature. Treasury Direct features this, as does Fidelity and
probably other brokerages.

Conceptually it shouldn't be the head-scratcher I seem to be making it out
to be. I don't think of this as an exotic transaction and yet I've been
completely unable to find an explanation I can understand (My fault, I'm
sure). What I would really like to see is an actual screen shot showing how
to enter the various pieces of a transaction that involves the return of
the par value of the bond, the assignment of interest, the purchase of the
replacement bond once the auction determines the price to be paid.

My head hurts just typing this. ;-)

I couldn't locate any relevant documentation that helps me.  Thanks.
