[GNC] Moving from Sage Accounting and would like to keep sub-account totals viewable

[Richard Danielson]

Hello David,
Thanks for the tip on the arrow on the right side of the accounts 
window.  I tapped that once but didn't notice that it was offering me a 
whole bunch of information options.  I now have account numbers showing 
and can sort on that column to make things look more or less the same as 
in Simply Accounting.

Re the subtotals issue, I used to have a number of subtotals (e.g. 
groceries, snacks and restaurants in the food category) which showed up 
in income accounts.  That is what I can't figure out in GC.  I can make 
accounts sub-accounts for heading accounts, and get the totals for the 
sub-accounts to show in the income statement, but can't get the program 
to sum the sub-accounts into the heading accounts.
