[GNC] Stopping auto transfer

[David Carlson]

The QFX importer gives you a chance to edit each transaction individually,
'training' it to select the desired account and whether to accept the
cleared date at teh bank or choose a different date, or, importantly, to
discard mis-matches to existing transactions.  While the process is tedious
at first, after several months there are fewer mis-matches, depending on
how your bank formats the descriptions.  GnuCash only learns what you train
it during the import process.

There are a few settings under Edit > Preferences > Online Banking that
fine-tunes the import process, but I have not tried to adjust them myself.
