You could use a search. Go to the accounts tab, then Edit -> Find. The
first criterion would be Account - Matches any account - Choose accounts
then use control-click to select multiple accounts. Then +Add another
criterion: Value - has debits or credits - greater than or equal to - $100.
Make sure you Search for items where - all criteria are met, and click on
Find.

It doesn't seem like there's a way to save searches, unfortunately. I left
a search tab open, closed the application, reopened, and the search tab was
no longer there.

If the search method doesn't meet your needs, you could write a report
using Scheme, but that would be quite a bit harder.

Another option, better in the long term, would be to use an SQL back end
and write a report in SQL.
