Yes, but this way you're not reconciling half your transactions in one
file, and the rest in the current file, and changing the opening
balances (potentially) multiple times-- which I've had to do when
opening new books the "normal" way.  This method should make things a
little easier.  I think.

Given this morning's little tidbit that memorized transactions are built
on the fly from entered data, this won't carry *all* memorized
transactions forward to the new file, but it will carry *some* of them
along (i.e., anything entered since the beginning of the new accounting
period).
