How to change a category into a subcategory

Question

I created a category called Alaska Vacation.  Now I realize I want there to be an overall category called Vacations and Alaska Vacation will one of several vacations under it.  So how can I now downgrade Alaska Vacation to be a subcategory of Vacations?

Bring up the Categories window (from the Window menu) and create a Vacations category, then drag Alaska Vacation onto it to make it a sub-category of Vacations. Any transactions that are categorized as Alaska Vacation should get updated automatically.
