actually it seems that it's enough to reload (close/open) the script
file to work around this issue
I'm not convinced this is a bug. If you want to ensure that files
in a particular (ad hoc) directory are found, the best way is to
make that your PWD and choose the option to make your gretl
working directory respect the PWD on start-up.
