[GNC] editing memorized transactions

[paul at kroitor.ca]

Both GnuCash and Quicken have the Scheduled Transaction feature. Quicken now
calls it "Bill and Income Reminders", but it used to be called something
more descriptive / less mealy-mouthed.

What Paul (Kinzelman) is referring to is something separate, which Quicken
calls "Memorized Payees". GnuCash does this on the fly by examining other
entries in the register, but Quicken maintains a separate, editable list.

A different Paul

GnuCash has a Scheduled Transaction feature when you want a transaction to
reappear on a regular basis.
