Re: [Gretl-devel] beginner's (but understandable) problem on the console

If you mean being able to do something like (assuming m has been

Exactly.
then I'd very much like to see this implemented
(also for scripts if possible).
Hm, don't know about scripts. This would be unusual compared to other
languages, and also would hide programming errors IMHO. I think in
scripts it's OK to use print (for plain objects) and eval and/or printf
(for general expressions).
Maybe this just reflects my Matlab
background, but it's always struck me as inefficient on
gretl's
part.
Not just Matlab, but also R, Python, Julia, you name it.
I haven't used the gretl console much in the past, and I think that
limitation was one of the reasons, yes.
thanks,
