I've just discovered ledger and I am very happy with its simplicity and 
power. I am trying to refine what reports I want and I am a little confused 
as how to use virtual transactions:

I am using funds like this:

2013-05-01 Fund refill

[Funds:Car_repairs]    $50

[Funds:Medical]         $50 

[Assets:Checking] 

 

And if I deduct a transaction like this:

2013-05-01 Doctor

Expenses:Medical $25

Assets:Checking $-25

(Funds:Medical) $-25


My reports show that both the Checking and the Fund got deducted, showing a 
lower balance for the Checking account than it should be. I tried this:

2013-05-01 Doctor

Expenses:Medical $25

Assets:Checking $-25 

[Funds:Medical] $-25

[Assets:Checking] $25


And this gives me the result I expect but seems to defeat the purpose of a 
virtual account. What would be the proper way to use virtual accounts?
