Having messed up my original ledger.dat file I am starting fresh and am 
immediately confused.

My ~/ledger.dat file so far:
Assets:Checking: $1,669.73
Liabilities:Credit_Card: $1,929.46
Equity:Opening Balance

2021/01/01 (#1004)
    Expenses:Rent                          $1,000.00
    Assets:Checking

2021/01/04 IRS
    Assets:Checking                          $600.00 ; stimulus check
    Income:Misc
~
Running ledger bal:
~$ledger bal
            $-400.00  Assets:Checking
           $1,000.00  Expenses:Rent
            $-600.00  Income:Misc
--------------------
If I have $1,669.73 in Checking, pay out $1,000.00 in rent and receive a 
$600.00 stimulus check which goes into Checking, shouldn't my checking 
balance be $1,629.73and not $400.00? I understand ledger is ignoring the 
Opening Balance but I don't know why.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks - Arthur
