With a few exceptions yes, this is the case. > Can I assume the Account structure ( > http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/structAccount.html ) is also > transparently wrapped in Scheme? This depends on your definition of 'wrapped.' In general, C structures are mapped to Scheme as opaque pointer objects, which requires using getters/setters from guile to manipulate the object. For example, you can't just do Account->desc in scheme, you need to use (xaccAccountGetDescription acc). > > Appreciate any pointers/advice. > > Regards, > > Yawar -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
