That's possible. I can't speak for what's in svn. Documentation always 
lags development.

Go to: http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml

Partway down the page you'll see the help manual and concepts guide 
"buttons" - they're probably good up to 2.2.6, which will be fine for 
your needs.

When you're setting up your chart of accounts, select the business 
option (if I remember correctly, there are several options - it's been a 
few years) - that will provide you with A/P, A/R, etc.

If you have more questions, just ask.

Cheers
