But how does the actual user want to use it?  We don't know, and he 
might have another KMM (or, Heaven forbid, GnuCash)file into which he 
wants to copy an existing account, or just one transaction.  So, I don't 
think it right to convert an account name (transfer) into a category name.

I'm not sure what that would gain.  If there is to be another column, 
why not make it more obvious and name it Transfer account, or whatever, 
rather than Cat/Accnt?
