<h1>Main GnuCash Window</h1>
<p>This is the main account window. You control your set of
accounts from here.</p>
<p>Below is a picture of the main window, with only the main
accounts shown. Note how <b>Business Expenses</b> has been
selected by highlighting. The box with a cross in it,
immediately to its left, shows that it has one or more detail
accounts that are not shown at present. To show them, click on
this box.</p>

<p>The <tt>Open Subaccounts</tt> menu item is interesting only
if you choose an account with sub-accounts (detail accounts).
Accounts with sub-accounts will always have a box on thier
left. By choosing the <tt>Open Subaccounts</tt> menu item, a
general ledger window is opened, which displays all
transactions for the lead and the detail accounts. Note that
the general ledger window is more complicated and harder to use
than the individual account registers. The general ledger
window allows a more comprehensive overview of accounts in a
smaller space. Because of its increased complexity, it use is
recommended only for accounting experts.</p>
