Sorry to go a little off topic from the original thread, but thought I
would point out that the use of the labels "debit" and "credit" is a
preference under Accounts -> Use Formal Accounting Labels.  I think it's
off by default on a new installation of GnuCash as a nod to non-accountants
(and perhaps Quicken and MM converts) trying to get up and running with a
minimum of confusion, but if you'd rather see the proper terms, the option
is there.
