Regarding "History" I plan to regularly archive transactions older than 
a year or two, once I finally get transitioned out of Quicken.  Since it 
is possible to open more than one file at a time, it should be possible 
to construct reports that span more than one file.  This should also 
allow "Locking" historical data by tagging the older files as read only.
