Customized saved-reports file per gnucash file (i.e. per company)

[David Carlson]

There is a section in the GnuCash FAQ about what files are where for the
various OS's.  IIRC there is a .gnucash directory under ~user or some such
which can be copied and pasted into another machine, even under a different
OS but that would overwrite whatever is there.  Do not try that without
backing up whatever is already there.  For Windows it might get more
complicated, as some stuff is now in the Registry.
