Thanks. I may try that. It's a little unfortunate that the only solution involves multiple transactions, because it's nice to be able to easily see that so-and-so took these five checks to the bank on a particular day, as a single occurrence. But since the plugin could label all the various transactions with the same source file/line, and connect them all with a link or tag, that might be the best I can do.
