Combined Personal plus Businesses in same file

[MountainX]

I just downloaded GnuCash. I've been using MS Money (the version for personal
+ business). I have a couple small businesses (for example, a single rental
property in its own company).

I want to keep all transactions in the same file. Mainly I want to have
flexibility to change account assignments across entities without
re-entering transactions in another file. 

I often use the same credit card for purchases across all entities.
Furthermore, some purchases are split amount entities. I cannot justify
separate files for each entity because that leads to a lot more data entry
when I have to change the entity associated with an entry.

I thought about using MoneyDance because its "tags" feature would facilitate
this functionality. Unfortunately, java apps don't work well with
compiz-fusion, so MoneyDance is out of consideration for now.

What is the best way to accomplish my goal with GnuCash? Thanks.

P.S. This is my first post to Nabble. I may have double posted - not sure.
If so, forgive me.
