  Great ! That is what I really wanted. Back when I was using CBB, I was able
to do this, so I could filter the operations, "everything about phone calls",
and so on. Great news to me.
  Just one question left : what is the use of the "opening balance" account
created with the real account ? Only to provide the initial value of the
account ?
