Thank you John, I am surprised that I didn't accidentally actually click on the icon. Anyway, I now see that it brings up two check boxes to hide accounts having those attributes or not. The desired account has neither attribute. It still won't save the base credit card account that I want to use. This is a CSV from a credit card company that is surprisingly detailed but it does not have multi-account splits. I did not accidentally put the Account label on any of the columns. Now, however, something else is still wrong because the next button is still greyed out. The account name is still reluctant to be saved. After multiple tries and more arm flailing I finally got the base account selected and saved it to the named configuration, and I finally see that the next button is live. I still don't know what changed to finally succeed in saving the account name with the settings and whether I will have the same problem next time.
I went back to look at release 4.8 in Linux and the column header choices were a little different but there I could immediately save the account name with the settings while working with the same import file and nearly identical data file.
