#!%&*#@ scheme! ... help!

Well, gnc:*business-label* isn't a procedure, so of course that's not
going to work.  I'd tell you "just remove the parens" but that wont do
what you expect, either.  It wont crash, but it wont give you the output
you want.  You need (gnc:<whatever-function-gets-the-value> <label> <item>)
to grab the option info.
