If the only thing in the second account is your messed up import, you can 
delete that account and have it put the transactions in the original 
account. Then remove the duplicates.

Hi Art,

This is already available.
Use the options under the Windows menu.

New Window: open a new window and from there you can open the register you
want
Or
New Window with Page: will open the current tab in a new window
