[GNC] reports

[Dennis Powless]

Thanks for all the help.  Adrien, you are correct I should have been more
specific.  The transaction report worked best for what I needed.
Interestingly, the file, export, export to csv output was each split as
a row of data (too much info for what I needed).  Not what I was looking
for, the report worked quite well for what I needed.

Thanks for your help.
