You understand incorrectly.  The Cash Flow report exactly shows you the
flow of cash into and out of a (set of) account(s).  Imagine that you
lay all your accounts on a table and draw a circle around the "chosen"
set of accounts.  The Cash Flow report will show you all transactions
that cross that line.  It will not show you any transactions that are
purely inside the circle, nor will it show you any tranasctions that are
purely outside the circle.

SO.. If you want to see how you're spending money from a particular
account then run a Cash Flow report purely on that single account.

If you want to see transfers then don't include the other end of the
transfer account in the Cash Flow account selection.

OR... Are you trying to see your total amount of Income and Expense --
which would be an Income Statement (Profit & Loss) report.
