Thank you for the instructions.

I started with my existing transaction with the Imbalance split in one
of the Income accounts.

In the Imbalance split, I changed the Imbalance account to the stock
asset account.  Pressed tab twice.  Got a popup of Transfer Funds.
Changed the Currency transfer Exchange Rate to 1.0 and clicked on OK.
Clicked on Enter at top of screen.  That filled in the Trading account
transactions.

Moved cursor to the stock asset split and clicked on Jump at top of
screen.

Now, in the stock asset account I (mostly) followed your instructions.
Cursor in stock asset split.  Type in Memo/description, tab to stock
asset account (already filled in), tab, 0.0 (for shares), tab, 0.0
(for price), tab, tab, Click on Enter at top of screen.
