Profit/Loss report

Dear,

My Mandrake 8.1 distro contains gnucash 1.6.2 , working very well,
inclusive the graphics that I previously never got working. (there seem
to be some rather complex dependency issues ;-) ).

I'm now an enthousiastic user of gnucash.

One question though :

In the profit/loss report there's no entry for the loans I'm paying.
This means that every end of the month I have more profit than I
expected (i.e. the payments for the loans are not seen as expense).

While I think this is accountancy wise correct, I would like to see a
report that explains me where my incoming money was spent that month.
This should include the loan payments. (M$ Money has such a function).

So something like :

Income        100 EURO
Income wife   100 EURO
Car expenses   10 EURO
Food expenses  10 EURO
Loan payments  15 EURO
----------------------
Left          165 EURO

How can this be obtained (maybe by tweaking the profit/loss report ?)

Thanks for any help.

BTW : Euro I did handle with all accounts double, one in BEF, one in
EURO. And at a certain moment the account is converted. Exactly like my
bank did ...
