If you defined the option as an Equity Option, enter a "Sell to
Open" transaction for 1 contract. Note that a quirk prevents you
from being able to change the symbol for a security that has been
defined as an Equity Option.

If you defined the option as a Stock, enter a "Short Sell"
transaction for 100 shares.

Not that for quotes download, the symbol must start with a period.
For example, .DOWAF is the symbol for Dow Chem Call Jan 04 $30.

Default entering call option into Money

I have a 100 share position in Dow Chemical. I have sold
1 Call option on that Dow Chemical stock. When I try to
enter the call into Money, I can't because I am entering a
sell of a position before I have entered a buy. Is there
a way to enter this call into Money so that I can track it
until I buy it back, or it expires?
