Yes - once you find it, it is really neat !   You are correct it is not
obvious.

I did try editing a screenshot to label the button, but discarded that
idea as confusing.

I'm adding  this to the section 6.4.

      <para>The main account window will by default only shows the
quantity of each commodity that you own, under the column heading
      <guilabel>Total</guilabel>. In the case of stocks, this commodity
is the number of shares. Often, however, you will want to see the value
of your stocks expressed in terms of some monetary unit. This is easily
accomplished by entering the main window, selecting the "Accounts" tab,
by clicking on the title bar <guibutton>Options</guibutton> button (the
small down pointing arrow on the right side of the main account window
titles bar), and selecting the option to display the account total field
<quote>Total (USD)</quote>. You will see a new column in the main window
entitled <guilabel>Total (USD)</guilabel> that will express the value of
all commodities in the report currency.</para>

I also will attach an entire screen capture, gimp will not take a
screenshot with the pull-down active. I'm not convinced that much can be
seen at this size.
