[moneydance] Those $10,000 prices getting set on dividends

I have held off downloading from Schwab for a while, awaiting a fix
for MD 579's habit of making a price entry for $10,000 on the security
with each dividend. I just finished deleting those $10,000 price
entries from 16 securities, as I wanted to catch up that account.
Watching the handling of the downloaded transactions, I noticed that
MD proposed a DIV transaction, as was appropriate, for each dividend,
but the 'Price' field in that transaction was indeed '10000', although
that field was NOT editable. So, MD not only sets this bogus price in
the dividend transaction, there is no way to edit it out of there. The
only appropriate entry would be 'empty', since I have no idea what the
price actually was that day. So, even if I could have edited it, I
don't know if MD would have allowed 'empty' or decided that meant
$0.00!
