Update -- 2.6.19 does prompt only once per variable, after all. I thought it did, because, when the transaction fires, the UI for prompting for an amount and accepting is pretty confusing (to me, anyway). I entered the amount and clicked the OK button, but was immediately prompted again for the same variable. By experimentation I found that I have to press Enter after entering the amount, and _then_ click OK. (I'm using 2.6.19, so maybe the interface is a little clearer in later versions.)
Now that I understand how the interface works, I have set up my mortgage payment transaction as described below, and tested it successfully with "Since Last Run".
