how to search and replace transfer account

[keith]

This problem is one of the reasons to get to a SQL backend. Many of us 
would find it easier to write an UPDATE statement than a script.

Don't know about  2.2, but in 2.0 it is possible to change the account 
tying the transaction to the current register, if you change your view 
to Transaction Journal. So if you open the Imbalance account and change 
the View to Transaction Journal it is possible to see all of the broken 
entries and fix them. As you change the Imbalance leg to some other 
account, the transaction will disappear from the Imbalance register. 
(Hope that's not a bug.) Not that it is fun or a solution when there are 
thousands of transactions.
