Can't delete a transaction

Josh, the reset warnings dialog was the key.  Don't know how I missed that!
Still, it's strange that it's possible to have settings so that there is no
warning but also no change.

Michael and rest, I hadn't meant to seem indignant that no one was
responding.  I was just frustrated that this important program wasn't
bending to my will.  I give a lot of support myself, so I realize the
issues.  Understand, though, that I wasn't able to explain what was
happening more clearly than "I hit the delete button and it does nothing in
these various cases" because I am unfamiliar with the system.

Thanks so much all for the help and the great software.
