[GNC] General Ledger Report Request

[Sara-Jayne Slocombe]

I would like to echo Bruce's request for a General Ledger report. This is
incredibly useful when trying to trace what's happened when things go wrong
or reports give results you don't expect.

Bruce, you're right, when using T-tables with pencil and paper, the totals
are at the bottom (or whenever you close off a period). However, most
accounting software does provide the option for a running balance column
alongside the debit and credit columns, which can be quite useful.

I am brand new to GnuCash, so will be delighted if anyone corrects Bruce
and I and tells us this already exists.

Many thanks,
Sara-Jayne
