You keep entering the second entry in your transaction **into the same account 
you're in. ** 

Think of it this way, you take $20 out of your right pocket, and then put $20 
into your right pocket. Assuming your right pocket started with $20, how much 
is left after this transaction? ($20)

GnuCash is recording *that* transaction, which is what you told it to do. 

You say you've read the manual, but I'd recommend reviewing 2.2.3 and 5.3 in 
the Guide, and section 6.2 in Help.
