[GNC] Questions about setting up new accounts from brand new user

[Adrien Monteleone]

Ann, that isn't the latest, nor official documentation.

For that, see https://gnucash.org/docs.phtml (the Documentation link 
from the left-hand menu under either Downloads or Support)

There is the 'Help' and the 'Tutorial & Concepts Guide'.

Both should be accessible from the Help menu when running GnuCash as well.

-----
*The Read the Docs version was created 3 years ago as a proof of concept 
for a different formatting and delivery means for the documentation but 
was not necessarily intended as 'ready for public consumption'. It has 
not been adopted for official use by the developers as of yet, and is 
not maintained or kept up to date. (and appears to be quite incomplete 
as well)

-----
If you read the official documentation, it describes an Account creation 
wizard that helps you get the basic accounts set up to get you started. 
If it did not run initially for some reason, you can proceed without it 
and individually create accounts, or try starting a new file to see if 
it will trigger the wizard. If it does not, report back here and we can 
help.


Regards,
Adrien
