The report you want is the custom transaction activity report.  When you
select this the first dialog the comes up lets you select a specific
account or all.  All should be the default.  Click on OK.  Now you get a
second dialog box.  This one is big and realy buisy.  About in the middle
twards the bottom there are three radio buttons: Name; Catagory; and ID.
Select the Catagory radio button and a srolable field comes to life next
to the buttons.  Scroll through this until you find the catagory you are
interested in.  select it an hit OK.  You will now get an itemized list of
all your transactions for that catagory from all of your accounts.  There
will even be totals at the bottom for each account.

The custom transaction activity report is a very powerfull report and it
would be worth a few hours of your time to play with it to learn the
effect of all the options on the output.
