Richard For personal use just select Common Accounts and deselect the Business Accounts when creating the account heirarchy. This is usually the default setup. For an existing heirarchy make sure there are no transactions to the A/R, A/P accounts ( transfer them to other accounts as appropriate) and delete them from the account heirarchy.
There is no contacts database outside the customer/vendor lists in the business features and I don't think there are any plans to add one. You can use cut and paste within the description field or even simpler use Transaction->Transaction Duplicate to duplicate an existing transaction containing the description item you wish to use and then edit the date description accounts and amounts in the duplicated transaction as appropriate to create a new transaction using a common descriptor item as a tag. You could also maintain a list in another text file open in a text editor or spreadsheet (at least sortable) and cut and paste from it as required.
