[moneydance] Sub Accounts

[kmenningen tds.net]

You can also use transaction tags where each tag is an "envelope" and then
use a transaction report that filters on the tags to find the "envelope
balance". I then included a "Shortcuts" home page item that included my
memorized reports using the tags. From the home page it is one click away to
find the balance. This would help avoid the frustration of the reconcile
process with subaccounts.
