sorry no-- i don't get it - if the total doesn't represent splits.. and doesn't represent the entire amount.. than what's the point of it? I would love to see the detail above change depending on the split chosen - if for no other reason than there is not enough real estate on the screen to show the entire split line (especially on a 15" macbook). - there doesn't seem to be a way to manually resize that side of the screen either. i still don't understand what the total is supposed to represent - since it neither represents the total of all splits, nor the total of one split... so what is it Total of? the standard definition of total is a sum of amounts or numbers... what does it sum? ciara
