-\f0\fs28 \cf0 While the @command\{balance\} command can be very handy for checking\
-account totals, by far the most powerful of Ledger's reporting tools\
-is the @command\{register\} command. In fact, internally both commands\
-use the same logic, but report the results differently:\
-@command\{balance\} shows the summary totals, while @command\{register\}\
-reports each posting and how it contributes to that total.\
-\
-Paradoxically, the most basic form of @command\{register\} is almost\
-never used, since it displays every posting:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger reg\
-@end example\
-\
-@command\{reg\} is a short-hand for @command\{register\}. This command\
-reports:\

-This rather verbose output shows every account posting in\
-@file\{sample.dat\}, and how it affects the running total. The final\
-total is identical to what we saw with the plain @command\{balance\}\
-command. To see how things really balance, we can use @samp\{--real\
--B\}, just as we did with @command\{balance\}:\

-@example\
-ledger --real -B reg\
