[GNC] Variables in Scheduled transactions

[Adrien Monteleone]

Glad to hear you got it squared away.

I'm not sure if this has to do with my SX preferences, but I no longer 
get a pop-up window for variables. There is an entry field in the Since 
Last Run dialog to enter them. (which I have to Tab out of to commit) 
That may have been implemented after 2.6.19 though. I haven't used 
variables in several years to notice when the change happened.

Regards,
Adrien
