How do I record a Roth conversion

I've seen @Jim_Harman 's very helpful post about recording Roth conversions - but I don't quite understand steps 3 and 4. Is this basically a dummy bank account where you record and categorize those transactions? Thanks in advance for any help.

    It could be a dummy account, but doesn't have to be since transactions net to $0. If you have a "CASH" account, that would work well.

    Just take a backup before you start any of this … just in case.
