+\f0\fs28 \cf0 Since Ledger's accounts and commodity system is so flexible, you can\
+have accounts that don't really exist, and use commodities that no one\
+else recognizes.  For example, let's say you are buying and selling\
+various items in EverQuest, and want to keep track of them using a\
+ledger.  Just add items of whatever quantity you wish into your\
+EverQuest account:\
+\
+@smallexample\
+9/29  Get some stuff at the Inn\
+    Places:Black's Tavern                   -3 Apples\
+    Places:Black's Tavern                   -5 Steaks\
+    EverQuest:Inventory\
+@end smallexample\
+\
+Now your EverQuest:Inventory has 3 apples and 5 steaks in it.  The\
+amounts are negative, because you are taking @emph\{from\} Black's\
+Tavern in order to add to your Inventory account.  Note that you don't\
+have to use @samp\{Places:Black's Tavern\} as the source account.  You\
+could use @samp\{EverQuest:System\} to represent the fact that you\
+acquired them online.  The only purpose for choosing one kind of\
+source account over another is for generate more informative reports\
+later on.  The more you know, the better analysis you can perform.\
+\
+If you later sell some of these items to another player, the transaction\
+would look like:\
+\
+@smallexample\
+10/2  Sturm Brightblade\
+    EverQuest:Inventory                     -2 Steaks\
+    EverQuest:Inventory                     15 Gold\
+@end smallexample\
+\
+Now you've turned 2 steaks into 15 gold, courtesy of your customer,\
+Sturm Brightblade.}
