[GNC] Additional 'Accounts' columns not being saved on closing program

[G R Hewitt]

Hi David,
I'm afraid I never tried it before; I just thought the triangle was for
sorting, like on the 'Accounts Name' column, and clicked it to see what
would happen
and thought 'Oh, that's useful' and went from there.
Yes, the program is working as it should, all transactions are present and
correct.
