Dear developers,
I think we have a bug in the gretl (build date 15-03-2009). I'm
trying to run simple OLS regressions using a gretl script file (.inp)
and save the results in a gretl session (.gretl), but it is
impossible. I get error messages both on my OS/X computer and Windows
computer.
Best,

I have found a bug that kicked in if your gretl "session"
involved nothing but running a script (no GUI commands). This
should now be fixed in CVS and Windows snapshot. I'd be
interested to hear if this fixes the issue you have experienced.
It was a bug alright, but "saving a session" where you've done
nothing but run a script seems odd: in effect your session is
already saved, in the form of the script file itself. I'm
thinking maybe we should not offer the option of saving a session
file under these circumstances.
Allin.

Ok! It worked just fine!

I wouldn't like to see this option away from gretl. For me it is very useful
because sometimes I need to share my sessions with another users (I'm trying
to convince my company to use gretl instead of EViews), so, because they
aren't familiar to gretl (and script files), I need to "transform" my
".inp"
files into ".gretl" files.
Best,
Henrique
