Actually not -- I believe there is a 'Close Book' function under
'Tools', which does what is needfull for closing the books for the
current year.  I think it keeps all of the 'permanent' accounts (eg
checking accounts) and scraps (or archives or something) the accounts
that don't need to be carried from year-to-year, and creates a fresh
empty/zeroed set.  Something like that.
