Yes. So you don't like having the performance calculations starting
over, so the regular transfer in Money doesn't appeal to you.
You could not just rename the account.
So you could Cut and Paste each original transactions from the old
account to the surviving.
You could export the old account (investment and cash account both)
to QIF and import both all at once as recovered account to the
surviving account and delete the old account.
You are limited to available choices.
