new user of Gnucash - questions

[Diann]

Thank you for your response.  More questions:  Is there a way to close a
month?  And, at year's end, how would one perform "end of year" accounting
to close out the current year?

Yes.  Set up the register view you want to print (using the View menu to
limit it to e.g. the month in question) and then Reports -> Account Report
to make it a printable version.

Unfortunately no, GnuCash does not have a Reconciliation Report.
