[GNC] How to find ALL Transactions in ALL Accounts for a Single Specific Date?

[Tom Route36]

Hi there Stan (and Adrien and Mark also),

Thank all of you so very much.  This is exactly what I was looking for.  
I'm obviously still learning my way around GnuCash; and this was a 
newbie kind of question.  I thought that somehow I needed to specify the 
accounts that I wanted to search.  It never occurred to me that all I 
had to do was to be on the Accounts tab to do a Find of ALL the accounts 
at once.  Live and learn.  Thanks again guys.

Tom
