Thanks, John, I got that.  I suppose I should have been warned that Finder doesn't look everywhere by the fact that it doesn't include hidden files and I've not yet found a way to make it do so.

For our (meaning Gnucash's) purposes, it provides a nice SQL interface combined with single file storage and no admin overhead maintaining a server. Since simply googling "sqlite3" provides plenty of references, including the SQLite3 homepage, perhaps you're being a bit contrary.

Perhaps I am!  It seems a shame that the only output forms from such a good accounting package are sqlite3 or the shitty html offering.  I'll follow some links I found by googling on "sqlite gnucash" and see where they lead me.  But first, now I've got gnucash outputting in my locale format, thanks to you, I'll take another look at how quickly I can get useable reports by saving as html and loading into LibreOffice.
