0158   Right-clicking an institution name brings up an Institution Options sub-menu,
0159   providing you with several choices. Selecting <guimenuitem>New
0160   Institution...</guimenuitem> opens the New Institution Dialog, where you can
0161   enter all the necessary information to create a new institution.  Selecting
0162   <guimenuitem>Edit Institution...</guimenuitem> brings up an editable window
0163   with institution details such as name and address. Selecting
0164   <guimenuitem>Delete Institution</guimenuitem> removes the entire institution
0165   and all its associated accounts. Keep in mind that you will only be able to
0166   delete an institution if you can delete all of its accounts, and you will only
0167   be able to delete each associated account if it has no transactions and no
0168   schedules refers to it.  Selecting <guimenuitem>New account...</guimenuitem>
0169   steps you through the new account process, which is described in more detail
0170   in the next section.

0224   Right-clicking an account name brings up an Account Options sub-menu.
0225   Selecting <guimenuitem>New account...</guimenuitem> steps you through the new
0226   account process. Selecting <guimenuitem>Open Ledger</guimenuitem> brings you
0227   directly to the Ledgers view or Investments view, depending on the account
0228   type. Simply double-clicking an account name also opens the account. Selecting
0229   <guimenuitem>Edit account</guimenuitem> brings up a window allowing you to
0230   change an account's name, start date, associated banking institution, and
0231   parent account. Deleting an account is only possible if there are no
0232   transactions associated with that account, and the account is not referred to
0233   in any scheduled transaction.  Selecting
0234   <guimenuitem>Reconcile...</guimenuitem> opens up the Reconcile Wizard, which
0235   steps you through the process of comparing your account statement to your
0236   electronic entries. More details, as well as information about the other
0237   options, are presented in the appropriate sections of this manual.
