Closeout intructions.

[Paul Pantages]

Hi Gnucashers,

Can someone point me to detailed instructions on how to close out
accounts at the end of fiscal year? 

I want to find out how to handle assets (stocks etc.) that I must/want
to keep historical records for reports and capital gains.

For example, I have transfers to asset accounts from income.salary
(direct dep) and asset.checking accounts. I know how to close out the
income/expense & checking accounts, but this will orphan interactions
with the securties accounts. If I close out the securities accounts, I
will lose the history, i.e., purchase price & date.

The manual mentions how to use the equity accounts to start a new
period, but doesn't go into this issue at all. 

Am I missing something? This must have been done many times before by
people. I poked around the Web too, but could not find anything.
