I have tried several times over the recent years to use gnucash. The big
hangup is transaction data entry. I seems that the data entry user
interface was made to be like one of the Intuit products.
I have seen several help programs discuss this issue, but I was only
able to learn "do not press <enter> until the transaction is complete".
My OS is Ubuntu 13.04
Could someone give me a sequence of keystrokes to execute the below
typical transactions.
Please note: our accounting method is cash accounting, not accrual.
