In fact, that is what I have been doing, but each time I go to leave the 
transaction, I get prompted with a dialog box that says:
"The current transaction has changed. Would you like to record it? 
Yes/No/Cancel"  I pick Yes and then another dialog appears entitled, 
"Rebalance Transaction" containing the following four radio buttons, 
listed top to bottom: "Balance it manually", "Let GnuCash add an 
adjusting split", "Adjust current account split total" (selected by 
default), and "Adjust other account split total". Which is the right 
option for me?  It seems that each option yields different results, and 
eventually ends up making the  seemingly simple task of creating a 
"transfer" into an arduous one for beginners like me.

I'm just looking for a little guidance here on the most streamlined way 
to do this, as I have many transactions to create transfers for.

Thanks very much, in advance.

John
