Arthur,

Steve here.

Ok, I think I understand.  I'll try to give it a go.

Firstly, read the money talks documentation where the header titled "New
account: Ctrl+N" begins.  It is quite near the top of the documentation. 
You will also read about how to determine your starting balance with the
program.  There is a header section called "starting balance".

In the properties dialog for money talks, accessed by pressing alt plus
enter, you will find the first edit box called "starting balance".  The
amount placed here represents the starting amount for money talks, if there
were no transactions in an account.  You may have to adjust this amount a
few times to make the register agree with the bank.  There is a systematic
method for this madness, but I always get confused.

I suspect folks on this list can do a better explanation, but this may get
you started.

Steve
