[GNC] A new start - somewhat strange

[Norbert Klein]

Thanks – moving on; I followed this:

1) Just create a new file:
  File -> New File (I called it spf2)

2) Save to a folder in your personal workspace. Just like you'd do with
your personal word processing files. - (I did it into gnucash on Documents)


Now I get the list of

Asets
Equity
Expenses
Income
Liabilities

and their sub-accounts which I created.

Question 1) I still think I should get a GnuCash Common Entry or
something, when I click on the GnuCach icon on the desktop. Wrong?

Question 2) Before I make entries into the accounts, I would like to
select a second currency (the Cambodian Riel) which I am using almost
daily, together with the US$ which is the main currency already set
during installation. I did some reading of the GnuCash documents, but I
did not find out how to start to do it. Any help with more detailed
recommendations please.
Some time ago, I saw on the list here a clear graphic example: the
Groceries heading, with two subheadings with two different currencies –
but my download was lost with my recent hard-disk crash.

Thanks for the really helpful helps so far!
