Thank you Dean.
I liked the resources you suggested. I plan to buy the book on Amazon
tomorrow.
The web page mentioned by David T was where it all started for me, since
that did not make sense. So I did do research and got even more confused.
So, having a copy of Gnucash on my computer, and in dire need of getting
something set up to handle finances, I figured the people on the Forum
could probably help.
And they have.
So, it may indeed take the cake; but when I understand it, it will be a
major help, and everyone who has contributed will part of the reason.
Best regards,
Neal Lewis

I'm surprised that people don't buy ($$$) a book (see below) that
gives them a good introduction to accounting, or even find a good
tutorial online (no $$$), & instead go to a mailing list intended for
the support of free (no $$$) SOFTWARE (not accounting), & then expect
other people to teach them (on their time) the most RUDIMENTARY
concept in all of accounting.
I taught myself accounting, & when there was something I didn't
understand, I did the necessary research to LEARN. Learning concepts
in any field takes time & effort.
I normally ignore these types of issues on this list, but this
discussion takes the cake.

That's the Tutorial & Guide page that explains the concept.
