whoops, my mistake, with a forward slash it works fine here, too!
So I am amazed...
Ah, that's good.
I just tested the new -g or --debug flag on XP and that seems to
work nicely. You get a console with 500 lines of scrollback.
In running on XP, I noticed that the CWD was
c:\Program Files\gretl
("set" in the gretl console shows you the value of shelldir).
I think this sort of confirms my notion that banking on a
user-writable initial CWD may not be a good idea.
