[This could also be a case for the users list perhaps.]
I guess that in the command context gretl expects these kind of unquoted
literal strings. So k is interpreted as a literal letter which doesn't
make sense. Have you tried @k instead?
I sort of expect that Allin is going to enable the use of scalar
variables in this context -- although I'm not sure it wouldn't entrench
the confusion between quoted and unquoted string literals.
