+Advanced Features
+-----------------
+X-Accountant offers some features not usually found
+in simpler accounting programs.
+  - Sub-accounts: A master account can have a hierarchy
+    of detail accounts underneath it.  This allows similar
+    account types (e.g. Cash, Bank, Stock) to be grouped 
+    into one master account (e.g. Assets).
+  - Double Entry: 
+    Every transaction can appear in two
+    accounts; one account is debited and the other is 
+    credited with exactly the same amount.  With 
+    double-entry, a transaction edited in one window 
+    will be automatically updated in all other windows 
+    showing that transaction, and in both of the 
+    accounts.
+  - Income/Expense Account Types (Categories).   
+    When used properly 
+    with the double-entry feature, these can be used 
+    to create both Balance Sheet and Profits & Losses
+    reports.  For example, savings account interest,
+    stock dividends, or paychecks can be marked as 
+    both a deposit in a bank account, and as income in 
+    an Income account type, using the double-entry 
+    (transfer) feature.  Similarly, credit card charges
+    can be noted in the credit card account, as well 
+    as in a corresponding expense account.
+  - General Ledger: Multiple accounts can be displayed 
+    in one register window at the same time.  This can
+    ease the trouble of tracking down typing/entry errors.
+    It also provides a convenient way of viewing a
+    portfolio of many stocks, by showing all transactions
+    in that portfolio.
