Thank you Steve, and everyone else who answered.

Reconciliation seems worth the effort. Still, there's one thing in the 
procedure that doesn't really fit well in a check-less country. You see, it 
goes like this: You write the check, and enter the transaction. Then, 
according to the help file, when you think that the check "has cleared" 
(whatever that means), you mark the "R" column with a "c" instead of an "n". 
When your statement arrives in the mail, you do the reconciliation and end up 
marking the "R" column with a "y".

I'd say the "c"-step is pointless to europeans, since we don't have checks.

What's the point of having checks, really?? They just seem to make everything 
more complicated and difficult.
