Thank you for your reply.

Here is what I have done.

I used "File -> Export Account Tree to CSV" to create a CSV file which I 
then imported into a new file. The new file is the same as the old one I 
exported from but it has no transactions.  This is what I expected.

I then opened the old file and did "File -> Export Transactions to 
CSV".  I chose the single account I wanted to export and got my exported 
CSV file.  Although not necessary, I opened the CSV with LibreOffice 
Calc to verify I had the desired transactions.

I next opened the new file with no transactions and did "File -> Import 
Transactions from CSV".  On the Import Preview Screen I chose GnuCash 
Export Format and changed the date format to mdy.  Doing this allowed me 
to go to the next screen.  At this point I am stuck.  I am supposed to 
Match Import and GnuCash accounts but no amount of trial and error 
allowed me to go to the next screen.  How do I proceed?
