[GNC] Non-Scheduled Transaction ???

Did some additional testing as requested.

1.  If the Create Automatically is not checked, and it is time to fire 
(or past time in my tests) then user is presented the option to review 
the transactions (including the ones that were auto-created=Y).  If you 
click CANCEL then the one not auto-created is not added to the journal.  
If you click OK (without reviewing) then it is created.  The ones that 
were auto-created stayed in the journal if you did click CANCEL.

2.  If the Create Automatically is checked and the scheduled transaction 
fired, THEN if Notify is checked, you are presented the option to review 
the transactions.  Whether you click CANCEL or OK, the transactions 
remain in the Journal.

3.  If the Create Automatically is checked and the scheduled 
transactions fired, THEN if Notify is not checked you get the confusing 
message noted below.

Notes:
1.  if multiple scheduled transactions are fired that include Cases a 
mix of 1, 2, and/or 3, then Cases 1 and 2 will override case 3 and 
present you the list.
2.  Notify can only be checked if Create Auto is also checked.
