Re: [Gretl-devel] Gretl & R interaction problem

Dear Gretl Team, When we use the "foreign" function and the foreign script has errors, Gretl freezes. Please take a look at the following example: <hansl> open australia.gdt foreign language=R --send-data gretldata end foreign </hansl> It works just fine. Now let's generate an intentional error using "gretldat" instead of "gretldata": <hansl> open australia.gdt foreign language=R --send-data gretldat end foreign </hansl> On a Windows PC machine the only way to make things go back to normality is using Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) to finish Rterm. When we do this Gretl comes back to life [;-)] and shows us the following message: "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'gretldat' not found Error executing script: halting"
