Thanks, Kevin... no, there are 3 sales shown in the left pane and many
purchases in the right (It's a money-market fund, and they're mostly
things like 4-cent dividend reinvestments... gotta love these puny
interest rates :-( )

The first sale was of 1000 shares, and the first purchase was something
like 3289 shares. When I highlight the 1000 share sale in the left pane,
and type 1000 in the "Shares Allocated" box beside the 3289, my "Total"
shows 1000 and "Shares Remaining" shows 0. That seems to be correct, but
when I hit "OK" the "You have allocated an incorrect number of shares"
pops up. The 1000 disappears from my "Shares Allocated," and my "Total"
and "Shares Remaining" change to 0 and the number of shares sold in the
LAST of my three sales, say 5426.81.

I've tried allocating that last sale first, but can't make that work either.

This is a real problem for me. I hope someone can help with it.
