[GNC] Removing commission split on stock transaction

[Fred Tydeman]

I found a method that works (may not be the best).
Delete commission split, and both trading splits.
Alter the stock value to 0 shares.
Click Enter.  That gets an Imbalance split.
Alter the stock value back to the correct number of shares.
Get a popup where I can compute the correct price.
Delete the Imbalance split.
Click Enter.
Two trading splits come back and no commission split.
