"Edit the report options for the report in particular to get it to
report only for the month/quarter in question."

I can't find any place in report options to generate a report for 
a specific time period.  I would like to print the report for my 
checking account for the last three months, July, August, 
September perhaps?

If I understand the above statement I should be able to control 
this from "report options" which only appears to allow me to set 
what columns are included? I don't doubt that I'm doing something 
wrong but what?

I'm using gnucash 1.8.9 obtained via yum today ...
