Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should.

In this discussion I saw reference to the possibility of having two sets 
of books open at the same time and how much easier that would make it 
when a transaction spans the books

There is a down side to that convenience you should take into account 
when deciding whether or not to do this. Yes, it will save you a little 
bit of time (not having to note down book spanning transactions for 
later entry into another set of books). But it will cost you a LOT of 
time tracking down an error should you ever make one. If only one set of 
books is open, you cannot accidentally enter a transaction into the 
wrong one << this sort of error likely to go undetected for quite a 
while as neither set of books out of balance because of it >>
