Gretl-Hansl "IDE" for Sublime editor
by Artur Tarassow
Dear all,
some weeks ago I've started to switch to the sublime editor
(https://www.sublimetext.com/) for writing gretl code.
Even though I like the simplicity of the gretl editor and its features
such as syntax highlighting and auto-itendation, it lacks some features
of modern IDEs such as "goto-anything", "goto-definition", custom
keybindings, fancy themes, git-implementation, snippets etc. which make
life much easier when working on larger projects. Don't get me wrong,
the gretl editor is great but was _never_ supposed to become a proper
software-development IDE but rather has another focus which is totally fine.
So I started to write the "Hansl-Gretl-Language" package for sublime
which includes the following features:
- 3 gretl build-systems (client mode, batch mode, and REPL mode) for
executing hansl code by means of sublime (plots are also working!)
- syntax-highlighting
- completion of gretl commands, accessors and keywords
- some snippet examples for speeding up coding
The project still has the following (known) issues:
- no auto-itendation (still have to figure out how this works)
- issues with some corner-cases which are not syntax-highlighted (regex
can become so hard!)
The package can be downloaded through sublimes package control system,
and can be found here:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Hansl-Gretl-Language
If somebody wants to participate on this project, check out the code on
my github repository:
https://github.com/atecon/Hansl-Gretl-Language
For those interesting in the sublime editor, check out "OdatNurd"'s
brilliant tutorials on youtube:

Enjoy the package,
Artur

How to keep function window open?
by Ekkehart Schlicht
Hi all,
Allins "criteria" function package offers the option 'close this dialog
on "OK"'. II would like to use that in a function GUI, but I have been
unable to find it in criteria.gfn.
Any advice how to implement that in any function GUI would be very
welcome. (I hope that this is doable.)
Cheers

detail in the movavg() doc
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
looking at the reference for the movavg() function, it says (for the
simple p>1 case):
'...from period t to t−p+1. If a non-zero value is supplied for the
optional control parameter the MA is centered, otherwise it is “trailing”.'
Do I understand correctly that the part "period t to t-p+1" only refers
to the trailing case, strictly speaking -- because that is the concrete
trailing specification already? Or to put it differently, for non-zero
'control' and thus for a centered MA the given time indices are not
meant to apply, right?
thanks

Finding a threshold.
by Olasehinde Timmy
Dear Professors,
Please, I have been trying to use a loop in finding an average point that
gives a threshold effect on the dependent variable giving a criterion (such
as lowest AIC or BIC).
Y = a + bX + c(X-X*) + e
Where Y is the dependent variable, and X is the independent variable.
Please, if anyone has ever done something like appreciate it if the code
can be shared.
I am eager to learn.
Thanks.
