Quicken Deluxe 99 - Buy/Add Shares

I have Quicken Deluxe 99. I recently installed it and am currently trying to set up accounts in it.

When I try to buy mutual fund shares within an investment account, I am presented with a dialog box (*Buy/Add Shares*) that only allows entry of number of shares and price per share--but not total cost (commission/fee is also an input but not a factor in this particular situation--no-load fund). Quicken will not accept total cost as a user input--it only calculates total cost. This is an inconvenience because it forces me to twiddle with the share price in order to force the total cost to the known value.

I searched the archives of this newsgroup and found out--and verified-- that I can enter the total cost of a purchase by entering the purchase directly into the account register instead of using the dialog box. Then Quicken calculates share price--just what I want.

question: Does the most recent version of Quicken handle this better in the *Buy/Add Shares* dialog box (that is, will it allow entry of total cost and then calculate share price)?

thanks
