[GNC] What is the purpose of hidden accounts?

[Doug]

Hi,
 I can only mention my own use of hidden accts: I have used Gnucash since 2003 abt, & my old accts get moved to a holder place 
(in my case ´zzzz´ for reasons that might be obvious!) These accts still exist, but are hidden in reports. Good to keep them
for historical accounting purposes. (such as in Australia, calculating Capital gains tax)

regards, Doug
