Adding transaction costs to Sim101

[LongGoldShortDollar]

I was wondering how I can go about adding transaction costs to the Sim101 account. I have a real money account, and I own the software outright if that matters at all. I'd like to test some strategies and I need to be able to factor in the transaction costs. Is there a way to do this in the paper account?
