How is this:

Q: How can I move the transactions from account A into account B, thus 
combining them?

A: There is no easy way to do this, you will need to move each 
transaction one at a time.  To do so, select a transaction in account A, 
click on the Jump button to go to the referencing account, and change 
the transaction "transfer" reference from account A to account B. 
Repeat for all transactions in account A.  When you finish, account A 
should be empty and you can safely delete it.

Ugh, not very easy to explain.
