[GNC] How to add investment accounts to existing gnucash file

[Adrien Monteleone]

If the Guide wasn't clear, perhaps there is room for improvement, but 
that setup wizard is just to get you started. You can add and remove 
accounts all you want after the fact. (with some caveats if removing 
accounts that contain transactions)

You can even skip that new hierarchy setup entirely and create all of 
your accounts from scratch.

GnuCash would be a in a sad state indeed if adding an account after the 
initial setup destroyed data!

You don't have to use the wizard, just click the 'New' button on the 
toolbar when viewing the Accounts tab. Then follow the examples in the 
Guide.

Regards,
Adrien
