Thanks, Andrew.

That was very helpful.  It was the basics that I hadn't figured 
out.  I'm almost there.  Two more questions, if your'e willing:

(1) I have sub-accounts under "utilities", e.g. "electric", "phone", 
"gas".  In the "Income statement" dialog, where I select the accounts 
for the report, I've selected "utilities" expecting a report on all 
the sub-accounts, as well.  Even though I set "levels of subaccounts" 
to "all", the total for utilities was 0.00.  I had to manually select 
the subaccounts.  Am I missing something?

(2) Once I've generated a report by picking all the parameters, is 
there a way to save it for future periods?

Thanks again.
