I didn't check the arithmetic but your entry looks correct.
The additional information you want to add is called posting metadata in
ledger speak. After each posting put a comment with a tag for your data.
For example:
2012.09.29 (H39578) Pacific Bell
Expenses: Utilites: Telecommunications: cell: me: 2414
$39.93
; GIFI: 1234.56.78.90
Expenses: GST:
Business $ 2.00
; GIFI: 3456.78.00.12
Assets:some account
The tag is the thing between the semi-colon and the colon and can be
whatever you want. You can use limits and value expression to work with
them.
