Jeff,
Follow David Whitings suggestion creating multiple desktop entries in the file,
one for each separate datafile you need to open, changing the name in the Name
entry and the filepath in the Exec entry as appropriate.
You can locate/put the desktop file in your home directory at
I think David Whiting's reply should get you there. (I didn't notice it
when I sent mine)
If that doesn't work, report back what happens instead.

Indeed, shift-fn-down_arrow drops me to a blank transaction with the
focus on the date field. Thanks!
I still think it a bug that the official key combo doesn't work
properly. I thought one was filed already but can't seem to find it.
Note, it isn't just the key combo not working. Using

Thank you Adrien. I will report it as a bug. This has happened
throughout numerous versions of GNC. It is more of an irritation on my
