[GNC] new to gnucash

[Mike Kerstetter]

Hello all. I'm brand new to gnucash. I want it to do just the basics of 
keeping a register and reconciliation of a couple bank and credit card 
accounts. I had Money Sunset Deluxe and currently have Quicken (which is 
now charging a yearly subscription). I'm muddling through setting up my 
accounts and I am baffled at the seemingly backward credit and debit 
columns in the register. A deposit to my Checking (or payment to my 
credit card account) shows up under "DEBIT" and a charge to my accounts 
shows up under "CREDIT".  The balance is correct. Am I doing something 
wrong in my set-up?

Thanks,

Mike Kerstetter
