[GNC] How to EASILY Select just ONE Scheduled Transaction to Create?

Hi all,

Let me start by saying this is an admittedly minor usability annoyance 
-- not even an "issue".  But I'm going to just throw it out here in case 
anyone else might have an easy workaround for it. Here's the scenario.

I get to a point where I have a fairly large number of scheduled 
transactions due or overdue.  And I want to enter just *one* of those 
many transactions.  Currently, what I have to do is select Actions -> 
Scheduled Transactions -> Since Last Run..., which opens up that large 
list of scheduled transactions.  And most of those scheduled 
transactions there have a status of "To-Create". But since I only want 
to enter *one* of those transactions, I have to go thru that long list 
and change each status from "To-Create" to "Reminder" -- all except for 
the one that I actually want to create.

Let me point out that I know I can enter the transaction manually, 
possibly by duplicating the previous instance of the transaction. But by 
doing that I would screw up the entry for that transaction in my full 
list of Scheduled Transactions.  That is, the Last Occur and Next Occur 
dates for that scheduled transaction would now be wrong.

So here's my question.  Is there a way to create just that *one* 
scheduled transaction that I want without having to go thru that whole 
long list of the other transactions to change each of their statuses to 
"Reminder"?  And keep in mind that I want the Last Occur and Next Occur 
dates to get updated correctly in my full list of Scheduled 
Transactions.  Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome here.

Thanks,
Tom
