I did try it and it worked great!  The key is step #2.  Use the Custom
Transaction Activity report and select one bank account or credit card
at a time.  Then on the second dialog select the reconcile check box
and the Not Cleared radio button.  This will give you a single report
of all outstanding transactions and a Total!  Either memorize, write
down, or print out this report.  Then go on to step three and you are done.

I recomend useing this report periodicaly anyway.  I just found out when
I did this that a check I wrote in July foe $120.  Hasn't cleared yet.  No
wonder I haven't bounced any checks this fall. :-)
