Linking two transactions (a transfer) after an import.

[Renato Moutinho]

Hi there,

    I'm not sure if this makes sense in "accounting terms", but I setup an
account named "transfers" and every transfer between bank accounts goes
throught this account on gnucash. This seems less fussy to deal with..

Regards,

Renato Moutinho
