[GNC] Column widths again

I just tried to find reference to the rate field in the Tutorial and I
found nothing.

I think it should probably be mentioned in chapter 4 section 4.2.  That
section even fails to explain single line vs two line view or dragging
around field widths, so it has a long way to go before it could describe
the presence of the rate field and how to access it.

Is this information posted elsewhere?
