[net.micro.mac] Changing account types in Dollar$ and $ense

[ouch]

I use Dollars and Sense.  I like it a lot and find it very helpful.

I've run into the problem of deciding that I don't want a liability to
be a liability, rather it should be an expense.  I can't 'change' it by
editing account definitions because the account is in use.

How can I do it?  I am willing to hack the data file using one of the
file editting programs.  To do this, though, I need to know the format
of the data.  Does anyone know this, or is it a secret like Microsoft
Word formats?  I might also write the company, but I feel I might have a
quicker response from the net.

Also, has anyone else played with D & S data?  If so, what experiences
have you had?  I think that my 'simple' problem might be more difficult
to fix because I might have to hack some values in various places as
well.  [like total liabilities, net income, net worth figures, etc.]

Thanks in advance, 
Chris
