Well, with the newer XML version data files, if you're handy with a
text editor, you could conceivably just make a copy of the file and
edit it to delete all of the <transaction> blocks.  That should
preserve your account hierarchy.

In the long run, we want to do something more like "closing the
books", which involves some accounting entries to roll up your income
and expenses for the year, etc.
