[moneydance] voiding checks..

[Gordon Alley]

If you leave the transaction amount unchanged, you have to be careful in
reports to either omit VOID transactions or flag them in some obvious way.
Lacking a special VOID action, if it is necessary to retain the details of a
voided transaction, one can just edit the transaction to set the quantity to
zero, and change the description and/or memo to add "VOIDED" and the amount.
