[GNC] Gnucash terminal commands not working & e-mail reply to all

[smada46 at hotmail.com]

Dave, 
Thanks for the info.  Fixed my problem.  Copying and pasting what you sent did not work immediately, but your instructions to right click the gnucash.app in Finder, Show Package Contents allowed me to see the path.  It then dawned on me that I have two versions of Gnucash in the Applications folder and needed to specify which one.  After a few trial and errors putting the program number of Gnucash in (4.4-2) and it not working, I double clicked on one of the executable files in Contents/MacOS and the resulting Terminal window showed that I needed a backslash and space in front of the version of Gnucash i.e. /Applications/Gnucash\ 4.4-2/Contents/Macos/xxxx.  Now works fine.  Thanks for the help.  
I know you said you don’t use my e-mail program, but got to thinking my interpretation of what is requested is wrong.  In other words, does reply to all mean to everyone subscribed to the Mail List (gnucash-user at gnucash.org <mailto:gnucash-user at gnucash.org>) and not just to those who are responding on the specific string for the specific topic I am responding to?  If the former, it is an easy copy/paste of gnucash-user at gnucash.org.  Thanks again for the help.

I have used the commands in the wiki to test finding GC version, Aq banking version, to get quote for XAU, and to open GnuCash from the terminal.  For the versions I would get “command not found”; and to open GnuCash I got “unable to find application GnuCash.   The commands and results are as follows:

In normal e-mails I can hit reply to all, but with the mail list when I double click to bring up an e-mail to respond to, the reply to is greyed out.  In order to send to all in the string I would have to copy and paste each e-mail address in my e-mail.  Again, what am  I doing wrong?
