Accounting app for VTech Helio

I know someone else is working on this program, but I am leaving for vacation in 
less than a week, and wanted to bring a useful expense program with me.

However this is a BETA version. Several features have not been implemented yet.
It has also not been tested as much as I would have wanted before releasing it. 
But since I won't be back for 4 weeks, I thought other people might find it useful
in the state it is in.

Features:
-Transactions have date, payee, account, category, amount, number field and notes field.
-Unlimited no. of accounts and categories.
-Report per account or all, per category.
-Save transactions and the whole database to a memo.

Not implemented yet:
-Restore of backup
-Currency
-Reconciling accounts
-Filter report on dates
-Purge old data (useful when transferring data to Quicken or Microsoft Money).
-Copy and paste on the edit screen.

"Errors" to be corrected: (Sorry I didn't have time to fix this)
-The totals either on main screen or categories may be off in the cents.
This happens because the amount is transformed from strings to numbers and
back to strings again. I haven't yet figured how to fix it.
-Be aware when editing that if the withdrawal button is pushed and the amount
already shows as negativ, it will get another negativ sign in front, and will
not be treated as a number for the totals (treated as a ). Will fix later.

Eventually I will try and get everything together, unless the other person
working on an expense program finishes. However I might take quite a while.

I would welcome constructive comments or suggestions.
