[GNC] Total and Grand Total at the end of a Transaction Report

[Peter S. Shenkin]

Thanks, Adrien,

Overall, I still prefer my current output. Though it doesn't have the nice
indentation that your example has and that I like, it does show the final
balance for each account in the transaction, which I do like to see.

Sure, I'll file an RFE!

Best,
-P.
