[moneydance] Security amount field has different meaning for buy and sell in MD579/Mac OS 10.3.9

[Jeff DuMonthier]

I figured out what was causing this one, although not how to fix it.  
The missing buy transaction was a single share issued apparently as 
some sort of dividend or other corporate action I had no other 
information on, and I entered it as a buy with a price of $0.  When I 
changed the price to something greater than 0, it immediately showed 
up.  When I changed the price back to 0, it disappeared even though it 
had already been matched with a sell.  I guess I could enter it as a 
dividend reinvestment or a buy with funds from 'Miscellaneous' or 
something.
