I'm sure what he meant was:  After you realized you made the mistake why
didn't you just quit gnucash and revert back to a backup (.xac) data
file from before you performed the import?  Then you can just re-import
and this time do it correctly?  It's much faster the exit, rename the
old datafile, restart, and re-import than try to delete 500 transactions!
