Hi Brian, and welcome to the GnuCash world.

The recommended practice is to create an Equity::Opening Balances 
account and use that as the contra-account for all your opening balance 
entries.  It won't be a problem doing this after you have started 
entering other transactions, just choose an appropriate date.

Unfortunately I read about the installing of opening balances after I had done everything thinking that I could add the opening balances to the accounts after they were all in place. I now have two asset accounts, four current asset accounts, two equity accounts, and three liability accounts in place but I have not yet found out how I can enter the opening balances into those accounts. Please let me know what I need to do.
