It looks like your command is now spelled correctly, but it is broken 
into two lines in the email message.  Is that just an artifact of email 
line wrapping, or is there in fact a linefeed character in your command 
line?

I see that Gnucash says, "Missing data file parameter", as if all it saw 
was "/App…/gnucash-cli -Q get". Then the Terminal shell ("zsh") says, 
"zsh: exec format error: /Users/kcburns/GnuCash/KCBurns.gnucash", as if 
it was trying to run "/Users/kcburns/GnuCash/KCBurns.gnucash" as a command.

Perhaps try to enter the command again, but being careful of the 
spelling and spacing?

e.g. Copy "/Applications/GnuCash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli -Q get" 
from your previous command, then type a space character, then copy 
"/Users/kcburns/GnuCash/KCBurns.gnucash" from your previous command, 
then press Return. See if that gets interpreted as a single command.
