[GNC] Manual Documentation - Import CSV

[David Cousens]

Thanks John,

i have to admit to not having read the Guide in full for a long time
now.
If not up front, perhaps links to the glossary definitions from the
basics section. 
I think Victor's comment has some value as most people are unlikely to
do a cover to cover read, even when starting out. 
I certainly didn't, I just went in looking for information about how to
do specific tasks. 
That may have been because I was doing a masters in accounting at the
time and I was using GnuCash to do the accounting exercises and thesis
work.
Cheers

David
