[Gretl-devel] GUI forecasts: menu in the FC window (feature request)

Hi, I had a teaching session for forecasting with gretl in GUI style, and I found the forecast result window a little un-intuitive. So I think that window could use a menu bar, even though it might be a very short bar. First, it was unclear to me how I could save the forecast to a series. A student pointed out (fortunately) that there's the "+" button in the window which does just that. But I think if someone like me who has been using Gretl for years doesn't get it, it's a problem. (Please no jokes about my limited cleverness.) If there had been a menu item "Save", it would have been obvious I think. Secondly, how can I save the forecast standard errors from the GUI? It seems it's impossible, although I know how to do it in a script with $fcerr (BTW, it now occurs to me that "fcerr" sounds more like fc errors, i.e. y-\hat{y}, but it's probably too late to change that). So I think once we have a "Save" menu in the FC window, then it would be very easy to add also the possibility to save the equivalent of $fcerr to a series. And perhaps also the lower/upper bounds of the FC intervals. thanks, sven
