 Oh! you got it by accident. Try this other initial value for s1:
 <script>
 open data3-6
 series y = Ct
 series s1 = 0
 scalar d = 0.5
 s1 = (obs=1) ? y[1] : d*y+ (1-d)*s1(-1)
 print y s1 -o
 </script> 
The output still looks OK to me, though maybe I'm missing
something. What output are you getting?
Allin.
