              1. ACCOUNT NUMBERS

The first column headed with the name Acct is
for the number of the Account. These are the
rules:

1. Be sure to leave your primary Checking
   Account number 111, your primary Savings or
   Money Market Account number 112, and your
   Equity Account 33 unless you read the full
   documentation. You can of course change the
   names of the accounts.

2. All Asset accounts must start with the
   numeral 1. (111, 1205, 188, etc.) All
   Liability accounts with the numeral 2, all
   equity accounts with the numeral 3, all
   Income accounts with the numeral 4 and all
   expense accounts with the numeral 5.

3. There are two basic types of accounts,
   Detail accounts and Summary accounts. If an
   account is to be subdivided into two or
   more sub accounts, it is a Summary account.
   If an account is not to be further
   subdivided, then it is a Detail account.
   You may post to Detail accounts but you
   cannot post to Summary accounts. Summary
   accounts merely summarize or total the
   accounts which report to them.

4. There are up to four levels of accounts, 1
   through 4.

5. A Summary account must be one level above
   the account which it summarizes. A Summary
   account may have either Summary accounts
   (if it is to be further subdivided) or
   Detail accounts reporting to it. However, a
   Detail account cannot report to another
   Detail account.

6. Use the sample List of Accounts, amended to
   suit your situation, and you will not have
   to worry about these details.

                2. ACCOUNT TYPE

In the column headed Type you should indicate
with an S or a D whether the account is a
Detail account or a Summary account. See
above.

               3. ACCOUNT LEVEL

In the column headed Lev you should indicate
which of the four levels the account should be
in.  The account should be one level below the
account to which it reports.

                4. ACCOUNT NAME

Use any name you wish to use. However, it is a
good idea to use a name that you can readily
recall so that you can avail yourself of the
feature which permits you to enter either an
account number or an account name when
entering data in the transaction journals.

              5. SUMMARY ACCOUNT

In the column headed Sum Ac you should enter
the number of the account to which this
account will report.  If the account does not
report to a higher account, then enter the
number 0.

     6. PREVIOUS MONTHS AND CURRENT MONTHS

The Previous Months column will contain the
amounts posted to the various accounts in the
previous months. The Current Month column will
contain the amounts posted during the current
month.

You normally cannot change the amounts
in the Previous and Current Months columns
when in the Amend Accounts Procedure. However,
if you select item number two from the
Utilities Menu, you will be enabled to do so.
You should make such changes with the utmost
caution, however, since there is no audit
trail and there is no automatic check of the
balance of debits and credits. This feature is
included for someone who wishes to set up an
initial balance sheet without making a series
of journal entries when doing so.


          7. ACCOUNT NUMBERING SYSTEM

You may use any numbering system consistent
with the above rules. However, I would suggest
merely adding an additional numeral to a
Summary account number for a sub-account. For
example, if your Summary Interest Account
number is 44, you could number your Non
Taxable Interest sub-account 441 and your
Taxable Interest sub-account 442. See the
sample chart of accounts by selecting
"Amending List of Account" (item #1) from the
Utility Menu.

                     END.
