There are two sorts of questions you can have. One is how do I use 
gnucash to do my bookkeeping meaning that you have some idea how you 
would do bookkeeping by other methods (say the old fashioned pen and ink 
on paper) but don't know the gnucash way to do this. The other is that 
you are new to bookkeeping in all its aspects, don't know anything.

The examples given are mostly trying to help folks with the first sort 
of problem. It isn't really fair to expect the gnucash guides to be more 
than a review of the fundamental concepts involved with keeping a set of 
double entry books. If you are really starting from scratch and never 
kept books before (by any method) you probably need to read an 
"introduction to bookkeeping" text.
