[GNC] Importing single transactions to separate deposits and withdrawals

[David Carlson]

For CSV imports, if GnuCash is a recent release, 5.10 or so, the answer is
simple.  Either choose Amount or Amount (Negated) for the value column.  If
the transactions come in wrong, choose the other. Then be sure to save the
settings with a unique name.  The help description in the tutorial seems to
be out of date.
