[GNC] GC keeps prompting me to create an account and it just won't away

[David Carlson]

Here is a tip.  When that (...) does not exist ... prompt appears, if you
do not know which transaction triggered it, click on the red x button to
close the file.  this will bring up a prompt asking if you want to save
your changes to a certain named window, which may be an account name or
search results, for example.  This will help you find the offending
transaction.  Once you have the offending transaction in focus, delete all
the characters in the account field. then you will get a chance to exit the
transaction abandoning all changes.  Now you can save the file and continue
entering data or close the file.
