I think that would be feasible (the register GUI and the underlying
register are almost completely separated now). But I'm not sure that
the returns would be worth the effort. Is gnucash really so different
from quicken/mym that it presents real obstacles to using it? I have
used quicken for *years* and I think the similarities between them
far outweigh their differences. I've never used mym, though.
