: Daniel Hi Daniel,
Create a new investment, and assign it the "Cash" type. Keep the
share price at a constant $1. Assign this as your portfolio's default
cash account under "Options/Preferences.../Other" and all your proceeds
will go into/out of this cash account when you enter any other transactions
when in this portfolio. Remember to save your portfolio after assigning
this investment as your cash account. Thanks,
Mark
