For various reasons, new users have struggled with the CSV import of
transactions. I looked back at the various questions, and while there is no
single magic solution, I decided to write a Guided CSV Import. The strategy is
to start with known CSV data, as published on the Wiki page, a clean GnuCash
file and import the data both non-multi-split and multi-split.
If someone is struggling with a first CSV import, this guided tour will
probably answer the questions of where things are going wrong.

Additionally, there have been questions about the "Amount" versus
"Amount(Negated)" import columns. To help clear up issues surrounding which one
to select, and how they can be used in conjunction, I also created a new Wiki
page on this issue.

Since it's on the Wiki, anyone with an account can make corrections/changes as
is necessary.
Further comments/questions/concerns are welcomed.
