Dear Gretl Team and Yi-Nung,

I find a little problem with the getsymbols function (version 0.1). Taking a look at line 50 of the function code we can see the following command (The same command appear at line 6 of the sample script):

append "@dotdir/tmpM.csv"

That's nothing wrong with it when we are using Linux or OSX, but Windows uses "\" and not "/". So I would like to suggest this fix:

<hansl>

##### Sample script: change line 6 #####

# old:

open "@dotdir/tmpM.csv"

# new (suggested):

if $windows

open "@dotdir\tmpM.csv"

else

open "@dotdir/tmpM.csv"

endif

##### Function code: change line 50 #####

# old:

append "@dotdir/tmpM.csv"

# new (suggested):

if $windows

append "@dotdir\tmpM.csv"

else

append "@dotdir/tmpM.csv"

endif

</hansl>

Also I would like to ask Yi-Nung to provide an e-mail address to the function description.

Best,

Henrique Andrade
