Multiple csv file import/conversion

Cheers David, that explains it.
>From the introduction I expected the registers to be similar for data entry, i.e credits in the right hand column. Also 'charges' appear in black as opposed to red for payments?

Re-read the section of the tutorial about credit cards.  Do not get

confused by the color of the numbers.  The opening balance of a credit

card account is usually entered as a charge because you already owe them

money.  Buying things are also entered as charges in the right column

and they "increase" the total that you owe.  Your payment to the credit

card company appears in the left column of the charge account register

and it will "decrease" the total that you owe.  The other side of your

credit card payment should be in the right column "Withdrawal" in the

bank account register.  It is possible to change some defaults to alter

the appearance of the registers but that is not recommended for

beginners.  If you have tried that it is easy to go into

Edit:Preferences and reset them to the default.  Click on Help while in

the preferences window.
