You are correct.  I can reproduce the problem but I had not 
identified the source accurately.

Unfortunately I had transferred the script file from Windows to Linux 
for testing with the latest CVS version.  In doing so, there appears 
to have been a problem with an end-of-line character which meant that 
the following "endif" statement was getting lost or 
concatenated.  That happened for the version that I  was testing with 
"if a != b"  but not for the reversed version with "if a = b".

This should be a warning for anyone who transfers script files 
between Windows & Linux.

gretl can generally handle any sane form of line termination.  I'd 
be interested to see what has gone wrong in this case.  If you 
could gzip the script and send it to me, that would be 
helpful.  (If you just attach it to an email I may not get
an identical file.)
