I have been tracking multi-currency transactions in GnuCash for many 
years and many GnuCash versions. That feature certainly works for me. I 
work primarily in Canadian Dollars, with a lot of US Dollars and some 
Euros and Japanese Yen. There are of course some inconvenient aspects, 
and incomplete documentation, but overall it works fine.

Could you please give us specific section numbers and URLs for the 
instructions which don't work for you?  You have a good point that the 
documentation can be slow to change as the application changes. Perhaps 
you can point out the specific parts of the documentation which most 
need to be updated.
