How are you doing, Hans.  You sent an email message to my private 
email.  This is discouraged because the maillist can't participate in 
the resolution.

We understand you are new and learning.  It takes some time to become 
fluent with using maillists.  So we'll help by describing to you what 
you're doing wrong when you get it wrong.

Just before you click the button look for these reply options. Among 
others, you should see these options:

* Reply List
* Reply All

Choose one of those options when you click reply.  If you click on 
something that just says, "Reply", it will not go out to the maillist.

You can also, alternatively read and post messages using this forum:
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Gnucash-on-two-computers-tt4677773.html

Posting a message in the forum may require some login/register 
procedure, which should be a cinch for someone with the experience of 
Accounting data entry.

I find the maillist very convenient for following the threads where I'm 
participating.  I strongly encourage you to try to become familiar with 
it.  The forum is an alternate way of looking at past messages that have 
been posted in your threads.  It has the benefit of automatically 
updating your replies to the maillist.

You can also alternatively review the message threads by visiting the 
list's archive:
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/

You'll find a link for this archive at the bottom of all the maillist 
messages.  This is very convenient for searching and reviewing the 
threads.  However, this is a readonly link.  The maillist archive 
doesn't have a posting facility.

I'm glad to help.

I'm replying to your personal email to me with a CC to the maillist.  
You may get two responses.  One to your personal email and one to the 
Maillist.  Please use the one to the maillist for your reply.  If you 
don't see an option to reply to list and only see reply, please include 
a "cc" to the maillist: gnucash-user at gnucash.org, as I'm doing.
