remembering & printing payee addresses?

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Victor:


       That's a step in the right directly, but doesn't complete the 
task, I don't think:  I just created a Vendor corresponding to a payee 
("Description") in GnuCash 2.4.10 corresponding to my bank account.  
Unfortunately, when I tried to print, it did NOT access the address I 
entered for that Vendor.  I could try GnuCash 2.6.0, but that would 
apparently require me either to install something other than Ubuntu 
12.04 LTS or compile GnuCash from source.  I may do both (but not 
immediately ;-).


       Thanks,
       Spencer
