My project was to transfer from one account into two accounts because of 
a death. Account A has half shares at original cost and B half shares at 
markup to date of death cost.

It was my misunderstanding of the use of "Share Transfer" and 
"Transactions Move" functions

I have accomplished my task by using Move all transactions to A and then 
moving half from A to B and changing B transactions to Added at the 
stepped up cost on the DoD.
