Hi Dee,

ledger never writes to your ledger file. Ledger is basically a
reporting system for plain text files that are in the ledger format.
You need to create your own ledger file from scratch. If you need help
creating and editing a plain text file on linux, there are probably
better places to look for that. If you can create a file, named
foo.lgr, in your home directory, that contains the following text:

2014/07/07 Initial
  Equity                                                 -$100
  Assets:Bank                                             $100

then the command:

  ledger -f ~/foo.lgr bal

should display your initial balance.

best, Erik
