I’m sending this partly as a record for me of what I’ve done, and partly in

That means that what you need to do to transfer to another person's
computer is in no way different from transferring to another computer
that you yourself own. So this is NOT a

I have to confess I don't know if you can edit the saved-reports-2.8 file.
As it is a text file, it should be OK. I would keep a copy of the original

First, good luck and hope all goes well.

$gnucash-cli -R list
This will list all built-in and saved reports, the latter denoted by a 'C'.
e.g.
* Account Summary
* Advanced Portfolio
I’m shortly to undergo surgery, and although I expect to be home in three or
