Hi Dick,

May I answer your question in two ways?

To get a printed list of the transactions in any given account, open that 
register view and then go Reports->Account Report.  There are a few options 
that you can apply to the report once it has been generated - click 
the "Options" tool button.  If you want to adjust the date range, you must do 
this to the register *before* you run the report - View->Filter By.... [date 
tab].

The other view that I have on this relates to your duplicates etc.  I suggest 
that you have a go at reconciling the account in question against whatever 
statement your bank can provide you with.  The process is covered in the 
docs, chapter 5.8 or see 
http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/help/acct-reconcile.html - that should show up 
duplicate txns in a straightforward way (and let you remove them!).

HTH,
Maf.
