However, when I install gnucash the program runs in German (perhaps because I live in Switzerland and the program recognizes where I'm based somehow). The difficulty is that I don't understand German, so I either can't use the program as is and also don't know how to switch the program to English. I saw in online help that I could change it in the gnucash.cmd file in my bin folder, but there is no gnucash.cmd file there. I'm guessing that somewhere in the menus I should be able to find an options panel (if I could read German) that will allow me to switch to English. Can you help me with this?

No, no, on Windows gnucash 2.4 and above is not using a gnucash.cmd 
anymore. Instead, you can alter the environment file to set a language.

Where in the "online documentation" did you find the reference to a 
gnucash.cmd file ? This documentation should be updated then.
