Thank you to all who have replied.
I attempted to enter a split transaction in the 'dividend' income page,
and then it vanished: I found it had transferred to the company stock
tab: It appeared to be correct, and the amounts ending up in the correct
accounts :)
So I was able to enter ALL the data for that stock, and then I was even
able to enter the final sale and scrub the account correctly.
I can not express how WILD, FRUSTRATED and angry I was with myself. But
it's now done, and I can always refer to that as a template/transaction
to copy.
Is there a function to 'lock' an account so it can no longer be edited
accidentally?
Thank you everyone, I really, really appreciate your patience and help.

Thanks: Now which page/account/ledger do I do this on? The dividend
income one? the company dividend income one? the company stock one??
When the dividends are being reinvested automatically, I enter the transaction
in the relevant stock account. I just find it easier to see with the number/
price/value boxes in front of me.
Instead of the usual approach of the cash to buy the shares being transferred
from Assets:Bank, just transfer from Income:dividend[:etc] and also if
requited ensure you have the split to show the tax credit too.
HTH,
Maf.
