Hi John,

   Re-reading the Guide clears things up for me. The .gnucash files are
complete copies of the last saved account (in the sense of 'personal' and
'business' rather than individual transaction journals in either). The .log
files reflect changes since the last save in case of a unplanned closure of
the application. So, saving the file before closing the application means I
can delete all .log files as their data has been saved in the latest
.gnucash file.

   I missed the announcement of 3.0; just downloaded it. Will build and
upgrade today.

Many thanks,
