[moneydance] Deleting some transactions doesn't work...

[Rick Flower]

Hmm.. That seemed to solve the problem.. I was able to find one of the $0
transactions and selected "see other side" and found it was part of a
split (20 way) paycheck that was wrong.. Anyway, once I deleted the other
side the entire thing went poof..

Sean : Would it be possible for situations like this to be more clear
about what's going on and why a delete doesn't delete?  I know my mother
(who just recently started using MD after my father passed away late last
year) would not figure out this important feature.. I guess it would be
nice if MD would put up a dialog telling the user that this transaction
was a split transaction between two or more accounts and that the original
split transaction should be deleted and ask if you'd like to see/delete
that one instead of what it does now and just not do anything.. Just my
$0.02 worth..

Thanks for an otherwise great product!
