[GNC] Trying to convert using GNU_CASH from Windows OS to new MacPro M5OS

[R Losey]

Yes, quite so.

But I have compartmented mind, and the original question was just about
GnuCash, and I was thinking of the minimal changes to be made.

I'm also influenced by my GnuCash setup, in which I use it on Mac, Windows,
and Linux, so I've had to re-create settings and reports instead of copying
them.
