[GNC] Import Map Editor - accidentally deleted account

AFAIK the import mapping data is stored in the main data file as is the price
database data. I don't know if the log files record changes to the import map
editor or only transaction changes. I suspect if you have deleted something in
the import map editor your only recourse will be to  retrain the system by
setting the values for unmapped transactions during the import process. It
probably pays to have a very good idea of how the import mapping functions
before editing the map data as it can have some unwanted consequences.
