Back around the time the register2 rewrite was started I believe that I suggested replacing the complex register code with a basic data input pop-up window for the selected transaction or other input requirement such as stock purchase, or business feature more like one would likely find in a database application. I will suggest a similar design change today to whomever decides to take up this task. Unfortunately, I only know Basic and Fortran IV, which wouldn't get me very far today, so my help would be very limited.
