[moneydance] Transactions in categories (was Flyover popups)

[Ruth Harris]

I am still running 579, and on occasion do make entries using categories 
only to move expenses from one to another; this does not violate any 
GAAP to my knowledge - it is the equivalent of a journal entry in manual 
bookkeeping. I do this by going to Tools-Edit Categories and double 
clicking on one of the categories involved in the entry. Has this 
capability been changed since version 579? I will be seriously unhappy 
if it has been - Quicken used to make me crazy because I could not do 
that, and had to run all transfers through a clearing account set up for 
that purpose.
