Same stock in two accounts

I am setting up new investment accounts. Since I have
Company stock in both my retirement account and also an
account from stock purchase I am trying to enter the same
symbol for both accounts. When I try to add the same
stock symbol in the second account Money says the symbol
is already in use. How do I enter the same stock symbol
in two separate accounts?

1. You got a message that a symbol is already in use? Create a
security only once. Thereafter choose it from the drop-down list.

2. microsoft.public.money is the Money group.
