You're exactly right, Geert. I was thinking of this incorrectly, plus using incorrect terminology, and do see what you mean now. I'm back in business!
Thank you so much!

Your screenshot is showing the expense accounts in your book.

account in the wrong spot. Have you looked under Assets and then Current
Assets ?
If this answers your question I would suggest to read up on double-entry
accounting or study our excellent Tutorial and Concepts Guide to better
understand how gnucash organizes your transactions. If the double-entry
concept is alien to you, gnucash will continue to confuse you.
Of course I may be estimating you totally wrongly, in which case you can
ignore the previous paragraph completely :)
Best regards,
Geert
