Thanks, David.  I think I am being unclear.  My research provides what you
call the transfer account for unmatched items.  That's all good.  It is the
memo field which I use to remind me of what I did that is not available in
the reconciliation screen.  For instance I want to remember that I paid
Amazon for *smart plugs*, or Sandi paid me $70 for *her share of groceries
at Christmas*.  Would you call that the "action"?
