 2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Account Express is a personal finance management software that can 
   help you manage your money (bank accounts, credit cards, credit lines, 
   income and expenses) and plan a budget. You can use it to track and 
   reconcile the transactions of your bank, credit and savings accounts 
   and see where your money goes (expense categories and payees). It also 
   helps you prepare and print a budget plan report detailed by income 
   and expense categories.

   Account Express gives you a picture of your finances at various levels 
   and in various formats. For example, the Accounts Summary gives you a 
   global picture of your cash flow at any given time while the Categories 
   Summary shows your net income (or loss) for any given period of your 
   choice. A tree view structure allows you to easily and quickly select 
   the various levels and formats of information offered.

   Account Express also provides a central repository for important 
   information about your accounts such as your credit card number and 
   contact information. This information may become very handy should 
   you lose all your cards and need to quickly inform your financial 
   institutions about the lost or simply to request additional 
   information about your accounts.

   Account Express can be useful to anyone serious about managing his 
   finances. It is simple and intuitive to use and provides context 
   sensitive help from the beginning to the end. It also includes a
   tutorial to get you started quickly.
