I'm not complaining when gretl is tolerant, but I'm really wondering why the following script works in the sense that all 20 loop iterations are performed, when I thought it should be interrupted after 10: set loop_maxiter 10 i=1 loop 20 print i i = i+1 end loop thanks, sven

It only applies to "while" loops. It's used to forcibly break potentially infinite loops. Actually, "help set" could be a little more explicit on this. Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Università Politecnica delle Marche r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www.econ.univpm.it/lucchetti
