Buying in margin -- Money is overstating the assets in my account

When I buy stocks in margin, Money mistates the amount I have in my account
as a total of my assets.

For example, let's say I have $50,000 cash, and then buy $70,000 worth of
stocks.
After the transaction, Money says that I have $70,000 worth of stocks.
However, this by itself overstates my value. It should be:
$70,000 stocks
-$20,000 margin account

Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks much!

The cash transactions account associated with that investment
account should have a -$20,000 value.
