[GNC] Possible to display two account registers on

[Geoff]

Hi David

 From your new "blank" window, use the toolbar menu and choose:
   View / New Accounts Page
This should open the main "Chart of Accounts" page in your new window, 
and then you can proceed as usual.

IMHO this should be the default whenever you choose Window / New Window.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
