[GNC] Hidden accounts and balances

[Bridgit Griffin]

For sanity's sake I imported the Quicken file into another financial 
program and the results were similar to what is in Quicken. There were 
many many more accounts that are closed (aka zeroed balances) that 
GNUcash was reporting differently. And if the account had a balance when 
I selected closed in the new software that account was removed from the 
balances. I think it is in the importing process that causes many issues 
as categories and certain transactions were broken out into their own 
accounts. Looking like I'll forgo GNUCash for now. Thank you for all the 
input.
