I had noticed the postpone and finish menu items, but I had not noticed  
the buttons on the screen, which I now see quite clearly.  I think my  
real job now is to follow up on an earlier suggestion that I contribute  
to the documentation.  I think I had been looking for the finish and  
postpone buttons on the reconcile wizard screen, not on the ledger.  
The docs don't really make it sufficiently clear that you have to  
complete the clearing of transactions AFTER you complete the wizard,  
and THEN "finish" the process.

Thanks for the great support for a great product.
