With older versions of Quicken, you will likely find it
impossible to have effective memorized transactions for all
possible payee names that can get downloaded. Newer versions of
Quicken have the capability to "rename" downloaded payees to
force their names to match the desired name.
"Cal" is short for "Calendar": when "Cal" is displayed, the
memorized transaction will appear alongside the Calendar ...
available for dragging and dropping onto a desired transaction
date.
