Importing bank statements in CSV format

[Tim Hume]

I'm using the latest version of GNU Cash in Debian - I'm not at the 
computer now so not sure what number this is.

Of course I can edit the CSV file by hand before importing it, but it would 
be nice if I could simply click on the transactions I want to import rather 
than being forced to import all the transactions in the file. The import 
screen allows me to edit transactions which the importer thinks it has 
matched with transactions already entered in the accounts. It also allows 
me to assign accounts to unmatched transactions. But it doesn't seem to 
allow me to totally ignore a transaction in the CSV file. However the help 
information kind of hints that this is possible (but doesn't say how to do 
it as far as I can tell).

Cheers,

Tim.
