[GNC] Location of reports files

[Tom Route36]

Just curious about this issue.  Since the location of the user's 
transaction data file is one of the *most* important pieces of 
information for the user to have, why wouldn't that be made readily 
available to the user?  Wouldn't that directory name be fairly easy and 
straightforward to add to the Help->About dialog box?  FYI, in looking 
thru Bugzilla I couldn't find any mention of a feature request to do 
that (although I might have missed it).
