Custom Report in Windows

[Jason Dunham]

I am still futzing around with the basics of custom reports without much
success.

I'm running GC 2.3.8 on Windows 7 64-bit.

This is the contents of my config.user file:

(load-from-path "C:\\Users\\jdunham\\.gnucash\\JasonsReport.scm")


I know that this is working, because previously I had gotten relevant errors
in the trace file when the .scm file had improper syntax.  I could actually
use a relative path, but later on I will move the reports to a different
folder.

When GC loads, it gets most of the way through loading, and then crashes
out.  There is nothing in the trace file except a warning that was there
even before I attempted to load any reports, so I doubt it is relevant.  GC
gets as far as saying "loading stylesheets" on the splash screen but does
not reach the bit about "Checking Finance::Quote" [or something like that;
it appears too briefly to read it easily]

I'm not sure what to try next. Once I get a report loaded, then I'll worry
about any customization.

This report ("JasonsReport.scm") is a copy of hello-world.scm with the
following differences:
