Thanks for the reply! 

I guess my question then is how does gnucash know an account is a bank
account vs a generic asset account? The accounts I'm referring to are indeed
bank accounts so I'd want to have that reflected in gnucash, if possible. I
don't recall specifying that one of them is a bank account and the rest are
generic asset accounts..

You're right, though, I could also just use the standard headings and get
used to it :)

Thanks --dave
