treats it as such.
Now I'm not sure if that's really the intended behavior.
Normally if you create a new variable you want it to be treated
as a first-class variable, even if the contents is just a lag of
another variable. AFAIK the "triangle" GUI trick was introduced
as a clever way of making the lags of a variable that were
*automatically created* (for example in the course of a dynamic
estimation) available to the user, without cluttering the main
window.
Yes, that sounds right to me. I'll see how difficult it would be
to amend this.
