[GNC] Share Values recording

[Mahon Finbar]

Hello,

I am trying to rationalise my shares (or things that have a moving 
value) holdings.

I understand the basics of GNU,  in that I have been a user for some 
time and have been able to record transactions, create reports to 
satisfy the taxman, etc., but I keep getting bits and pieces of 
information from the various places where my shares are registered, 
mostly about values and dividends and the like.

I have a somewhat random selection of 'accounts' with information about 
my (relatively small number) of holdings (a word that is a bit strong 
for my situation)

What I am aiming to do is get a simple account or accounts where I can 
just register what I paid, what dividends and other income stuff I may 
have had and items such as current value.

Is there a simple source in the 'help' for creating that and what is it 
called and what does it contain?? If not where should I start??

Sorry to be a neophyte, but I am a bit frustrated.
