Ann,
I you are getting the window with the Accounts tab (it is the default until you
open an account register) click on it then right click on whichever of the top
level accounts you wish to create the account under and slect New Account and
the account creation dialogue will come up. You can edit account details at any
time but changing the parent account will change the position in the account
tree. The choices for account type are usually limited to appropriate choices
for the parent account you selected in the first step.
