Dear developers
I think there might be a problem with the silent flag to restrict in VECM
open denmark
vecm 2 1 LRM LRY --crt --silent
restrict --silent
b[3] = 0
end restrict
is not so silent. I am on OS X Lion running cvs Gretl from 5 December.
Jack suggested that I tried something like
<hansl>
outfile null --write
... do stuff ...
outfile null --close
</hansl>
when I do not want to listen to Gretl, but I get a syntax error. I have not found any docs
on hansl so I am a bit lost.
Best
Andreas

True enough; we'll fix that.

Oh dear, the term "hansl" may be confusing some people. It's
just the name by which gretl's scripting language is now
known. So -- while there's still no explicit guide to hansl
scripting as such, something we hope to remedy before too long
-- the entirety of the gretl Command Reference is about hansl
(i.e. the commands and functions you can use in scripting,
their syntax and semantics), and in fact a good proportion of
the gretl User's Guide is also about hansl.
The case in point is that the command reference spells out how
"outfile" works. The syntax error is just that "null" is not
acceptable with the --close option to outfile; that option
just terminates the redirection of output so it doesn;t take a
filename, or even a pseudo-filename.

Perfect. Thanks.

I guess that was my cue to go to bed. For some reason I just thought "hansl" was
a different language that was not documented yet. Thank you for spelling it out.

"outfile" works. The syntax error is just that "null" is not

New subject: help window in the background
Hello,
I am seeing that if you try in the gretl GUI some models, for example
'ordinary least squares', 'instrumental variables', ... 'robust
estimation' in the dialog window that emerges you can click on the
'help' button and the help window appears correctly in the foreground,
but if you do the same with /model/Maximum likelihood, GMM or
simultaneous equations, the help window appears in the background so it
is very uncomfortable to see the text. Please, Allin, could you correct it?

Hmm, the help for MLE etc. appears on top here. Are you seeing
this on Windows or Linux?

I now see that this happens in Ubuntu 10.04. It seems to be a bug in
metacity, the gnome window manager. On my own Linux system I'm not
using metacity -- I use sawfish -- and the Help window (correctly)
appears on top of the dialog box from which it was called.
The user-level workaround is to slide the Help out from underneath
the dialog and place it alongside; metacity won't even let you click
the Help window to the front. Maybe I can figure some other
workaround in the gretl code but it doesn't look easy...

I think this should now be OK (CVS). Please let me know if
it's not.

I confirm this is solved now.
Thanks!!
