Then, just "sell" the first stock.  Quicken will now show a line in the 
portfolio view with the money invested in "Cash" (just like the lines for 
each of the other stocks).  Now, when you "purchase" the other stock the 
"Cash" investment disappears and a new line for the new stock appears.  In 
your case, the reinvestment would be immediate; so the "Cash" would only be 
there while you are entering the transactions.  When you finished, the money 
would all be shown in the new stock.
Quicken does the transaction exactly as your broker holding the 401k plan 
does.  He can't trade the stocks.  He has to sell one at the current value 
and use that $$ to purchase the other stock.
