Business in 2 countries

[J. Paul Bissonnette]

Thanks for the tip.

This may just work. In ~./gnucash/books I created 2 directories one for 
each account.  Next created one  file  <main menu> -> file -> new file 
saved it in a dir. Before creating the second file I edited the 
preferences to the other currency, enabled Euro, then saved the 2nd file 
in the other dir..
