Victor,
I will have to update GnuCash - my version is 2.4.13 and your version has
what I need. The hard part is that I am running Linux Mind Debian 1 which
was replaced with LMDE 2, and I feel the repository may not be accesible
for my old (but stable) version 1.
Anyhow, time to upgrade.

Thank you very much.

Thelma
