Jack, If you follow the help manual reference given by Eric earlier ( https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/invest-buy-stock1.html) and continue forward to the section on stock sales there is a lot of information there which should help you. The issue of capturing realized gains is a complex one with more than one solution, but you can defer that decision until after you are comfortable with the basic transactions.
