[GNC] Possible Jump Enhancement

[will at theprescotts.com]

If someone is taking a poll, I don't think it is worth the effort either.
But then I mostly use either the split view or auto-split view.

Just a devil's advocate question, but how is hitting the Jump button to
get a popup to see the splits any different than hitting the Split button
to get the register to expand the transaction to see the splits?

It's still two mouse-clicks to get to the target account, but without a
popup.
