Aha!  So now I know the significance of the "Every *n*
months/weeks/whatever" option in the "Edit Scheduled
Transaction>Frequency" window.  When I first started to use Scheduled
Transactions I could not figure out what purpose this option served; it
was hardly intuitive.

I was all set to bitch about the lack of a quarterly option for
Scheduled Transactions -- until I read this post.  So, presumably if I
want a quarterly scheduled transaction, I opt for "monthly", and "every
3 months", with the starting date, usw.

Subsequent searching on my part revealed that I could find nowhere in
the GnuCash documentation an explanation of this phenomenon.  Has this
particular bug -- if indeed it is a bug -- already been noted as such?
