That would explain it, but again: why would it then have worked without
changing anything after a gretl restart?
Sorry, don't know.
The whole thing is no big deal. But would you confirm that in theory
gretl
reads in file.inp every time that "include file.inp" is found? Or is there
some case like with gfn files where this isn't done (on purpose)?
The former: file.inp should always be read in when it's the argument
to "include" or "run", and it's a bug if that ever doesn't
happen.
