Here I agree, the language used in the scheduled transactions editor is
confusing to some (me included).
So I recommend making all new scheduled transactions by making a
transaction in a register and then scheduling that transaction.

Someone who is affected by the use of "funds in" and "funds out", like
Chandler, could file a Request For Enhancement (RFE) on the bugtracker,
to put some alternate terms.

Before Derek gets a chance, "patches are welcome".
