Vendor - Opening Balances

[Bill & Di McDonald]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Gnucash.  I have been powering away entering info and 
finding it really great. But have now hit a brick wall.


Is it possible to enter opening balances against individual Vendor accounts?

I can't work out how to do this?

I can see I could enter a entry between Accounts Payable and the Equity 
Opening Balances Account. But see no way of allocation the Opening Balance to 
the individual vendors, so that the payments when made go to the vendor 
accounts.

Or do I have to post the payments related to previous periods against the 
opening balance in accounts payable?? rather than the vendors affected.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
