Not from the "Accept transactions into register" window. But
there is a workaround (assuming you have at least Q2007 - maybe
Q2006).

Enter a dummy transaction in the account register (put something
in the Memo field that clearly identifies it).

Do an "Accept All" for the downloaded transactions. Sort the
register on "order entered". Select all the transactions (using
the same method you would to select multiple files in Windows
Explorer) starting with the dummy transaction you entered,
through the last transaction displayed in the register. Then
Edit > Transaction > Delete.

Backup first.

Correction: Q2005, and newer, can select multiple transactions
in non-investment account registers.

Very nice, never thought to look through that list of options.
I followed your directions, except for the "Backup first".
Worked anyway, thanks very much for your help.
