[GNC] Unsplitting a transaction

[David Carlson]

It has always been my custom to start from the left in the row that I want
to delete and alternately hit delete and tab across until the split
disappears completely.  I am not sure if that is the only way to do it, but
I got into that habit long ago.

The main caveat is if that is done in the last or only row containing the
account register name of the current view, the entire transaction seems to
disappear out of that register view without warning, but it still exists in
the general ledger and the register views of the other split lines.  In my
case that process takes several seconds and it is irreversible if done by
accident.
