The problem is, "const" is also a reserved word. I suspect that the trouble we'd go into would be greater than the benefit. Example: we'd have to explain to a Turk that he has to use the word "const" in scripts (otherwise they'd become non-portable), even though that same variable will be printed out as "sabit", and why. Not sure it's worth the effort. >> P.S.: I would appreciate if you could also comment on my earlier >> suggestion regarding the "edit" and "tests" menus in the model window. > > > I tend to think that tests belong under a "tests" menu, not an > "edit" menu.

IMO: omit, add, coeffsum and restrict on one side; all the rest on the other side. --------------------------------------------------  Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti  Dipartimento di Economia  Università Politecnica delle Marche  (formerly known as Università di Ancona)  r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it  http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Gretl-devel mailing list Gretl-devel(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel
