Mark:
By default, a "Corporate Securities Spin-off" places all the new shares
in the account where the former parent company stock is lodged. If for
some reason you want to move the spun-off shares to another account a
"Shares Transferred Between Accounts" transaction should do the trick.
I don't understand the statement "In the Invester Center window, it
still only shows Wendy's..." as the Investor Center *should* show all
securities, unless the new stock is unchecked under Options > Customize
Current View... > Securities to Include.
