You don't have to set up a separate "intermittent" holding account. Quicken 
does this function automatically.  Quicken justr shows the money as cash in 
the account until you reinvest it in another stock.
If your mutual fund account has check writing feature or if you often have a 
lorge cash balance, you can configure the account to have a cash account 
associated with it.   You can do this either when you first set up the 
account or you can add this feature to an existing account.
