      <para>The View -&gt; Filter By ... is used to set/modify the view of the Account Tree
       Window. The "Accounts" tab of this form allows the selection of the types of accounts
       to display. These selections effect the view on each specific open window of the account
       tree.
      </para>

      <para>The "Other" Tab allows enabling/disabling of the options; Show Hidden accounts,
       Show zero total accounts.</para>

      <para>The Account Tree window, by default, only shows the quantity of each commodity
       that you own, under the column heading <guilabel>Total</guilabel>. Often, however,
       you may want to display other values. This is easily accomplished by clicking on the
       title bar <guibutton>Options</guibutton> button (the small down pointing arrow on the
       right side of the main account window title bar), and selecting the option(s) to
       display.  These selections set the view on all open windows of the account tree.

              store.  These ATM add its fee directly to the amount instead of showing up as a
              separate transaction or in your monthly banking fees.  For example, you withdraw
              $100, and you are charged $101.50 plus Interac fees.  If you manually entered
              that $100, the amounts won't match.  You should set this to whatever is the
              maximum such fee in your area (in units of your local currency), so the
              transaction will be recognized as a match.</para>

      <para>The Tax Information dialog is used to set Tax Options. The settings on accounts

      <para>IMPORTANT: Most TXF codes should only appear on a single account! The exceptions
       are codes for which the "Payer Name Source" is not grayed, each of which can appear
       many times. Of course, each duplicate should have a unique payer name. These are
       typically interest accounts or stocks or mutual funds that pay dividends.</para>
