<h1>Main GnuCash Window</h1>

<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>
