[GNC] reconciling an account and paying the balance

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Interest entry is per-account. With the target account selected in 
the Accounts tab, use the Edit button on the toolbar (or the Edit menu, 
or right click) to change that setting.

Examine each Card account by using the Edit window as well. Make sure 
each one is set to 'type' (bottom left column) "Credit Card". I suspect 
the accounts that aren't prompting you for payment are set as simply 
'Liability'.

Note, there were some bugs affecting the interest option pop-up about a 
year or so ago. Be sure you're using an up-to-date GnuCash. (4.11 as of 
this message)

Regards,
Adrien
