Scheduled transactions-need choice of weekend start.

[Tommy Trussell]

David--

Thanks for the clarification! I just tested it for NEXT weekend -- I
created a transaction scheduled to be created on the 6th and on the
previous weekday, and it created it for the 5th.

I haven't tested it by creating a transaction for today but waiting until
next week to see what will happen, but I would contend that EVEN IF you are
creating a transaction in the past, it should always follow the rule --
because you might be "catching up" after not running GnuCash for a few
weeks, but you want the transactions created as they SHOULD have been.
