Move Transactions

[Jhonnatan Perkins]

Thanks John,

So you meant, like, renaming the "old" account to a "new" name? Care to
explain more please?

In the other case well, I'll have to do that split trick. But Jesus, what a
shame such a "simple" thing to do is not implemented yet on GNUCash :(

Thanks for your time !! :)
