I'll have to try testing on Windows -- I'm not sure why your
experiment would work there ;-)
I've now tried with the current gretl snapshot on Vista, and I get
exactly the same behaviour as on Linux: the second script is found
if and only if the gretl working directory is set to the directory
where the first script is located. This is what I would expect.
