I really must respond to this. For years, now, on many distributions the 
installation of GnuCash does NOT result in being able to read the help files. 
You, Derek have been very helpful to me personally and I appreciate it, and 
so has this listserve but the standard install - at least for opensuse - 
doesn't install the help file. Please don't blame the users for not reading 
non-existant documentation.

And I have tried to follow the convoluted reason why this is so, but don't 
understand it. 

I have downloaded the html help file and printed it off, but I'm not always 
near it, nor is it always current.
