Thank you. That was what I meant when asking "what actions"? << what 
VERBS >>

Had it been clear what was meant was a NOUN (a field labelled "action") 
I would not have proceeded to give a logical description of the entry of 
a "split" transaction by describing entry of a transaction in Journal 
mode (using the pen and ink description noting differences to gnucash, 
and giving the example ACTION post/save/enter. And then asking what 
ACTION was intended for individual lines. We could, for example discuss 
EDITING a transaction.

This is not the only instance where what gnucash calls something can 
cause confusion.
