how to search and replace transfer account

[keith]

BTW there is one other way I have found to do a bulk transfer. If you 
want to move all of the transactions in account 1 to account 2, all you 
have to do is bravely delete account 1. You will be asked where you want 
to put all the transactions currently posted to account 1. Select 
account 2. No data is lost, balances stay balanced.

Obviously this only works in a special case, but I find it useful if I 
have gotten tangled up in the import process and everything goes into a 
new copy of my checking account.
