It helped!

Half-way there!

Running manually works.

Running automatically still needs a prod. And "Since Last Run" rings no
bells - regrettably.

Simply opening the designated account on the day after the scheduled entry
achieves nothing. My gut-felling is that the "scheduled entries" are added
automatically at the same time as a new manual entry is added to the
account.

I shall soon find out!

Thank you for the pointer.

PS: This is my second attempt to send this message; "gnucash.org" bounced  
the first attempt and claimed my message had some "non-plain text MIME  
parts". Since computers never make mistakes, I presume that this was the  
case. It might have been an addition made by "gmail" - which is not my  
default email program (but I am learning how to use it!).
