[GNC] Jump to account in the Accounts pane

[Geoff]

Hi Stan

I am running 5.8 on Windows 10.  Using your example, if I type in 
"water" then hit down arrow it jumps to the next account with "water" in 
its name, and if I hit up arrow if jumps to the previous one.

Thanks for letting me know about this nifty feature!

Regards

Geoff
