The BPI-for-DOS design decisions were made in a very different world from the one we work in today.

In 21st Century Accounting, we have consolidated some BPI functions that always seemed logically related. And we've pulled some areas that really deserved their own top-level menus out of the traditional ledgers up to the main menu bar.
