categorized monthly expense reports?

[Elmar]

Good afternoon to the list

I am trying to set up 3 expense reports:  fixed expenses, variable 
expenses and discretionary expenses.  Into each of these I want to place 
some of the categories/accounts under the expenses tab.  But I see no 
way to create these "super-categories" other than creating them in the 
basic list of accounts, i.e. not just one account labeled "expenses" 
(placeholder account, with subaccounts under it), but 3 separate 
placeholder accounts.  Have I parsed this correctly?
