Re: [orca-list] GNU Cash, Anyone?

[michael weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

i have had a look at gnucash.
from what i can remember entering transactions was inaccessable 
with orca but things may have changed since i last looked.
i was also a bit confused about the way accounts were set up and 
maybe it might work better if i had tried just creating accounts 
instead of using the account wizard.
i might have another look with the version of orca that comes 
with intrepid.
i have been trying to find something for keeping account details 
as spreadsheets are not my best knowledge in it.
