Question on buying new shares (confused)

Hello,

First of all, this is a fabulous program :D I'm glad there's an easy way for
it to run on Windows now, it's quite a godsend. I've been using it for a
while and haven't gotten into much problems (I've been using other similar
apps on and off before). However this time I have started investing and...
I'm confused.

I followed this guide:
http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/invest-buy-stock1.html for
buying new stocks (the bottom image is broken, BTW). I believe I've put it
all down correctly, as I followed everything almost to the letter (just
substituting my own numbers). All's good until... I go back out to my
accounts and I see that the account I transfered from (Assets:Bank ABC in
the example in the docs) still has the original amount of money in it. Is
this normal? Is this supposed to happen? I was expecting that the money, er,
disappears from the bank account.

I'm currently using version 2.2.0, would like to get this sorted out before
trying an upgrade. :)

Thanks!

Angela
