[GNC] Setting up existing investments in new GnuCash file

As far as moving accounts into a nested position later, I think you can use
the "Edit Account" functionality to change the Parent Account setting. Found
this out after carelessly creating an account in the wrong place. You don't
need to delete anything. The program automatically updates all the
transactions that reference the moved account.

Ken,

The "Delete Account" function is a way of combining two accounts into a single one. You can certainly use "Edit Accounts" if you want to move an single account to another parent. However, if you're updating that account from an experimental one (or deciding you don't need multiple accounts), then you'll have to use the "Delete Account" function, and the wizard will ask what you want to do with the transactions currently in the to-be-deleted account.
