   Thanks Phyllis.
   I also started by populating the initial balances... but this has
   nothing to do with the question regarding how to register a
   split-transaction - which you perfectly answered already.
   Thanks,
   F.

   Boniforti, I must admit to being a little confused about your earlier
   question regarding equity.  The first thing I did when I started
   populating gnu was to enter the outstanding balances in my checking,
   savings, credit cards, and bank accounts.  Each asset and each
   liability.  I have not changed those figures since day one.  There may
   be a report you can run if the current amount is important to you but
   they are only your opening balances.  Any time you enter the
   reconciliation screen, the current former balance is shown first,
   followed by the date of your statement.  You take your ending balance
   from your statement and enter that amount.  Voila, now you simply
   proceed to compare your open items in the screen based on your
   statement.   Just the way you would if you were balancing your
   checkbook.
   Hope this helps at all.  To me you are doing extra, unnecessary work
   for no gain.  But then, we all have different needs.

   Hi Phyllis.
   As you were typing the reply I played with the split transaction and
   indeed that was the solution! :-)
   Sorry for bothering.

     What account was the wire transfer drawn from.  If checking, I would
     do a split from your checking account.  You might indicate the wire
     transfer in the description.  The other split would be the 200
     charged to your credit card.
