When selected from the main menu, the "RECORD DIVIDEND INCOME" option
allows you to maintain a running account of income received in the
form of dividends from investments in your securities portfolios.
After you select this option, the "RECORD DIVIDEND INCOME FROM ?"
menu screen appears listing all securities in your data base. You
will select the security from which the dividend income was derived.
If the security you have selected resides in more than one portfolio,
a second menu listing the portfolios which contain the selected
security will be displayed. Select the appropriate portfolio using
the cursor keys as with other menus.
After you have selected the security and portfolio (if necessary), a
data entry screen will appear and you will be requested to enter the
information as shown Table 6-1.

Maintenance of dividends received using this option is important as
it gives the program the data necessary to compute dividend income
for tax reporting purposes.
