I found the GC file before I did the big import and am all set to try it
again... but on a copy of that backup GC file, of course :-)
But, I'm done for today so I'll do the import in small chunks in the morning
and report back.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Have you checked the directory that contains your data file for previous
automatically created backup files created whenever the GnuCash program is
exited and restarted?. If one of these is timestamped before your large
import you may be able to recover to the point before the import. Apart from

Well, turns out I did have a copy of the GC file just before import :-)And I
have the data ready to import again.I can experiment and find this out but my
question now is...
Does the sign need to be minus for Withdrawals?
I think, when I originally imported the 663 transactions I may have had

They are the last 663 checking transactions and they were already saved
gnuCash and its going to be hard to go back to an earlier version.
My plan is to export those last 633 transactions and edit them in a
spreadsheet... which I've already doneand I ended up with just 5 columns...
Date, Num,
The easiest way is to close gnucash without saving to abandon the current
data and import again.
If you saved the file with the incorrect import, close it and open the last
save before the import.
If you didn't notice the error until much later, there is no mass
correction possible, but you
I imported a big bunch of checking transactions and guess I got the Deposit &
Withdrawal columns labeled wrong during the import process.
Is there any way to select a bunch of checking transactions and change Deposits
