           -500 RUR  Equity:Opening Balances

What command should I use to get output in a single currency?

Hi Eugene,

3.0 is getting close to feature completion, and this is one of the final features left to be resolved. All of the internal circuitry to fulfill your desire is complete, I just have to wire up the user interface for how to pick the proper "target" currency. There is a bit of complexity here, because some people want a global default, others a per-account default, and others a default specified on the command-line. I'd like to be able to support all methods.

Also, different banks use different currency exchange rates. What if I
make more than one transaction involving two currencies on the same
day in different banks with different exchange rates?

The latter entry's price will override the first. But you can always use pricing entries, as you've done, to give a price at an exact point in time.

John
