Download GNUCASH Documentation from the website

[Mary Ann Wallace]

May I also suggest that he not overlook the following links, one of 
which Dave H. had pointed out to myself and another user in an earlier 
post on 4/16 re: where does Gnucash save itself when it closes.

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ      (lists other documentation to 
download such as Tutorial and Help Guides)
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#GnuCash_Files_and_managing_a_GnuCash_installation
