Hi. Brian and welcome to Gnucash-Users.

It would help if you could tell us what you have managed to achieve so far.  If 
you have opened a new file, the wizard walls you through the setup of your 
account and inserts some standard entries.

The Accounts tab lets you add your own accounts within your structure so for 
example,

Assets:Current Assets:Bank:Current Account1 (for you to define)

You will then be Abel to open this account and make an entry for the opening 
balance which is normally analysed to 

Equity:Opening Balances

I am multi currency so I have several Opening balance entries, one for each 
currency but Bnucash is extremely flexible and lets you set the accounts up as 
you like.

Let us know if this has helped and if you need more help.  Remember there is 
plenty of excellent documentation to help you with any issues you come across.

Good luck

Geoff Jankowski
