Thanks, Adrien. I didn't really expect there to be a way, but I'd have
felt like an idiot if I didn't ask and then later found out I could have
done this the easy way.

To Michael's point, setting specific dates, that's not as convenient,
but maybe saving one report with two sets of options will reduce the
amount of date selection I have to do, even if it doesn't reduce it to
zero. (I might have to do that anyway; I have no idea what would happen
when a saved report configuration that selected all of the accounts in
one book is run on another book that has completely different accounts.
But I'll be finding out shortly.)

My workload's already less than it was, because I no longer have to fire
up a VM to do the nonprofit's bookkeeping. (Plus, the books open and
save much faster, and reports come up faster.) While I was at GC 2.6.19,
it was at GC 4.13; now both are at GC 4.14. And when 5.4 comes out
they'll both be at 5.4.
