<para>
  Below is a complete list of the menu selections in &kmymoney;, with a very brief
  description of what each one does.  Note that many of these menu choices will be
  unavailable, or grayed out, depending on the current display or state of the
  application.  In addition, some may not be present if it relates to a feature not
  included in your particular version.  For example, you are not able to edit an
  account unless you have an account selected or displayed in the current view.
