[GNC] Newbie trouble deleting transaction

[Paul-A]

Thanks Geoff and others for your replies... I don't see the point of a
blank entry like that.  For bank accounts I expect to import data from
external files, not do any manual entries, but maybe I'm naive.

I guess I'm okay for now, except for a general feeling of uneasiness
about the interface.  When doing something dumb, it wold be nice to get
some kind of complaint.
