D'oh! I fired up my Ubuntu notebook and discovered that my GnuCash version on it is actually 3.8, instead of 3.1.So much for being on top of everything. :-)

That is my inclination also. Let's see whether any of them jump in. David Cousens said:> If you are up to building GnuCash on Ubuntu you > can use 4.1.

Last year, my neurologist advised me to learn a new language in order to keep my mind sharp. So I told him that I would try to learn Linux (I grew up on MS-DOS and Windows).I managed to get Ubuntu installed--and running--on three old notebooks, and got GnuCash installed and running on one of them. I haven't progressed much beyond that introduction to the OS yet, so I suppose dovetailing GC 4.1 into Ubuntu 20.04.1 could be a huge step forward--or into the Twilight Zone for me. :-) Thanks for the advice, Adrian and David!
