[GNC] Simple report(s) wanted

[Roger Shilcock]

I'm getting used to GnuCash and playing around with reports too. I just 
looked at the Transaction Report and under the display tab I don't see 
the option to tick "Account Balance" as you suggest. I'm running V5.1 on 
Windows but surely the report options should be the same across all 
platforms?
