- GENERAL LEDGER HELP
- Open an account by pressing "O". Then tell BillPower the number of the new
- account and its identifying name. An account is a Debit account if it will
- appear in the Balance Sheet's `Assets' portion; it is a Credit account if it
- is to appear as a `Liability'; it is a neutral ("-") account if it is not to
- be shown on the Balance Sheet.
- If the account is meant to hold retainer funds from which you have authority
- to draw payment for work performed, you might want to enter the balance you
- wish to maintain in the account, as well as the minimum acceptable balance
- (so that you will be warned if the account is in danger of running out of funds
- before you are compensated for your work).
