Ahh, sorry, there's no documentation for the scheme-only functions,
except what exists as comments in the sources, or the sources itself.
The only docs are for the C API, which in 2.2 is also the
scheme-wrapped C API.

Did I say "gnucash.auto"?  Where did you get that from?
You REALLY want to put this into gnucash.user, NOT gnucash.auto.
But yes, that's the code you want.  And I've verified that it
does work at least once before so I don't plan to do the test
myself again.

to do with it?
