50 years ago? That would mean you probably ... err .. belong to an 
unusual age-group on this mailing list. :-)

Thanks.

As for your improvement suggestions:

I don't know whether anyone here ever tried to implement printing of the 
"account hierarchie". I would surely think this is incredibly hard to 
implement, so we will probably not do this in the near future. You can 
achieve almost the same printed output by opening an "Account summary" 
report, selecting the accounts you want to see, and print the report. 
Sorry that your proposed feature will probably not be implemented soon, 
but the described workaround should hopefully satify your needs.

I think the field "Account code" was never intended to hold the actual 
"bank account number". Instead, the field "account code" is intended to 
hold a (usually) three-digit number that will identify this account in 
your personal account hierarchy (in German: Industrie-/Einzelhandels- 
kontenrahmen). There, all of your accounts have some code, like "100" 
for "Assets", "110" for "Assets:Bank Account", and "111" for 
"Assets:Bank Account:MyFirstBank".

On the contrary I think you are referring to an account's bank account 
number, like "1234567890" for "Assets:Bank Account:MyFirstBank". In 
Gnucash there is no special field for these kinds of account numbers. If 
you nevertheless want to see the bank account numbers, the easiest 
choice is probably to include them in the account name, e.g. 
"Assets:Bank Account:MyFirstBank-1234567890"

Or did I misinterpret your posting? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
