[GNC] The man who saw everything twice....

[Peter S. Shenkin]

Please tell me where this option is.

I already said that I didn't see an option for this. I looked before
posting and just looked again. I don't see anything like what you
mentioned. I believe I have been through all the Options and in fact I got
as far as I did by specifying several. For example, I see the following
options in Display that pertain to the account balances:

   - Parent account balances
      - Subtotal (I have this selected)
      - Account Balance
      - Do not show
   - Parent account subtotals
      - Show subtotals (I have this selected)
      - Do not show
      - Text book style (experimental)

It's not impossible that I am missing it somewhere, but if so, please tell
me where to look.

I also looked in Preferences > Reports, but I see nothing relevant there
either.

-P.
