what is the best/correct Action to use in the Investing account register for a transfer of cash/dividends to my everyday checking account? IntIncX seems most likely but looking for confirmation.
TY to the kinds souls who reply.

The IntIncX would be for interest income directly transferred to checking. DivX would apply to a dividend directly transferred. If you are receiving several such distributions and making an aggregate transfer, you would use the applicable non-X transaction, and then a Withdraw or WriteChk transaction categorized to the [Checking account], or an XOut transaction.
TY. CPA. will try this on for size.
TY lurker. that does it.
Alternatively, if the interest (or other investment income) is received in a non-retirement account, you can turn on the "Show cash in a Checking account" feature of the brokerage account.
This will cause a pseudo-checking account to be created with ALL of the cash transactions moved from the brokerage account to the pseudo-acct.
