Moving securities

How can one record moving a security "in kind" from one account to another?
The only way I find is to pretend that the security is sold in the first account with a "sellxfr", which transfers money to the second account, then buy the security back in the second account at the same price. However that creates some artificial realized gain/loss and messes up the basis for that security in the second account.
Please help.

    Hi jf

    The only way to do this is to enter a SellXfr in the source account and a Buy in the destination account. However it is important to enter these transactions at the original purchase price so as not to change your cost basis.
