Ah, I see now. ’Transfer’ is only visible in Basic Ledger mode. I normally use Transaction-Journal mode so I never see that. Perhaps that is why I switched so soon after starting with GC. The default terminology can be very confusing. (one doesn’t think of ’transferring’ to expense accounts, rather ’spending’ and once you grok debit/credit, you don’t even need to bother with specific account terminology.)
