[GNC] Recent changes regarding transactions

[Tom Route36]

Actually, the ideal thing for me would be a preference setting to select 
one of three options:
   1.  Keep AutoFill enabled (just as it is currently to recall the most 
recent transaction).
   2.  Disable AutoFill completely (to enter everything manually into a 
fully blank transaction).
   3.  Enable AutoFill of Description only (and the rest of the 
transaction stays blank).

For the most part, I'd probably like to use option 3.  But if only the 
first two were available, option 2 would be my choice.
