Thank you Fred, you nailed it - the "old" checking acct (the one I want to delete) is Type=Bank. The "new" checking acct into which I want to roll the txn's from the old acct was Type=Asset.

And thanks for all the other responses as well.

Next ... to learn how to help revise/expand this page-
https://gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-manual/acct-delete.html
... to capture what I've learned here.

Thanks again Fred + all.
And again big thank you to dev's + all who have contributed to and maintain this great program + community.

Chris

If I try to delete a "Bank" account under Assets, it offers all the other Bank accounts (including the Orphan and Imbalance ones). For a Cash account it offers all the Cash accounts. Obviously not exhaustive testing but might help.
