Hi Fred,
The usual mantra is really worthwhile, I was expecting it, but as I am
not a programmer, and try as I might I cannot get my head around scheme
or any other language, for that matter.  The most important feature now
in terms of business use is to automatically create an invoice in pdf,
and to make it look "bloody fantastic" into the bargain.  It could even
sport a "Invoice created by gnucash" by line.  One could certainly Print
straight to a printer but a copy of the formatted Invoice could go to a
nominated directory.  Emailing the invoice directly to a a customer
would be outstanding.  This is, in essence, my wish list.
