Re: [Gretl-devel] suggestion: 'open .... --quiet'
Hi All,
Just my 2 cents ($ vs € rates not counting :).
I am in favor of a "--verbose level" option, being the "--quiet"
option an alias for the lowest verbosity level.
This way I could finally have my "student" mode implemented in the
official version. I changed the code to have legends for the *, **,
***, when they appear on the P-VALUES models columns. They have
entries in the POT, and I translated but wondered why they never
shown. So I modified the code for that. Jack disagrees with this
output, but when we have the "--verbose" option everyone would be
happy.
By the way the ***, meaning "significant at 0,001 level" (or something
like that), does not have an entry in the POT, and so it is not
translated.
Bye,
Hélio

Well since in this case neither calculations nor results are involved I
think it's not too bad. :-)

I wasn't even aware of varlist...
So I would be slightly in favor of your synthesis:
w/o variable list:
open x.gdt
w/ variable list:
open x.gdt
varlist
The second-best choice would be:
w/o variable list:
open x.gdt --quiet
w/ variable list:
open x.gdt
