I have been trough all that and don't see how any of it applies to what
I'm trying to do because:
1 - I have no commissions to deal with.
2 - I have no capital gains to deal with.
Very confusing......
It appears I have the sell side correct the the buy may have something
wrong.

Jack,
If you follow the help manual reference given by Eric earlier
(https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/invest-buy-stock1.html
<https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/invest-buy-stock1.html>)
and continue forward to the section on stock sales there is a lot of
information there which should help you. The issue of capturing
realized gains is a complex one with more than one solution, but you
can defer that decision until after you are comfortable with the basic
transactions.

Hard to say without knowing what the txns actually were. What you
have
told Gnucash is:
- you had 1115.05 on 7/21
- you sold some Midcap Fund for 5213.04 on 8/10
- you bought some Mid Cap Value for 1652.00 on 8/10
which leaves a balance of 4676.09, as shown.
Presumably you have entered the wrong value for either the sale or
the
purchase txns, but only you can tell which.
