One of the tasks of an editor is to test the assumptions in any text.
What may be obvious to the coder is frequently not obvious to the
average user.

What I meant that the *language* should be at the level of a 12 year
old, not that the content should be.  There is a difference.

Since these are nowhere explained in the documentation I took the
trouble to figure them out.  I have not however had the time to post the
results to the list.  I will, in time.

There is as yet no good documentation about end of year closing (closing
book).  There is a description of the difference between an expense
account and an income account if you dig deep enough.
