[moneydance] How to run an account in a separate file?

[Larry Alkoff]

Hello Roz and Chuck.

When I open MD, click in File > New (account), enter the settings
and do a File > Save As
are you saying that only _that_ account will appear in the new file?

That would solve all my problems.

I have a house full of contractors tracing circuits and have to hold 
their hand.  Tonight I'll give that a try.

If you are correct, my grateful thanks.

Larry
