Thanks Alan, I actually rarely use the 'a' function because of exactly why you are criticizing. I am not particularly fond of ledgers xact command. I find it to be a bit too 'fuzzy' and it finds transactions to copy that I didn't really mean. If I need to add a transaction while reconciling I just switch to the ledger buffer and add the transaction, when you save the file the recon window will be updated.
Let me look into you date format issue, I use iso dates as well and do not have that problems.
