I think http://is.gd/CTDv discussses a feature similar to what you require. The basic idea is that instead of being a simple value, each ledger transaction amount could be an expression that may refer to "variables" such as account balances. If you extrapolate this idea further, then ledger becomes a kind of accounting spreadsheet application where each transaction value and each account balance is like a cell in which you can enter both values and expressions that may refer to the "contents" of other transactions and balances. This would be very useful, but also probably difficult to implement. Derek
