Allin-- all is well with one GRETL install. The sheet and offset

work as expected.
My minor complaints are

--coloffset
I agree.
-- if you offset into a blank area you get 'Unspecified
error'
Are you suggesting that something should be done or just that the error
message should be more informative?
-- some might want to use sheet names, not knowing the OLE order.
Yes, this would be very neat.
-- if 2 or more open/imports are run in a series, the command log
seems to
reset (empty) after each one. There are cases where keeping the command log
going to see all imports and 'run "file.inp" ' steps would be better
for
debugging and documentation.
Also, the same syntax should be applied to the "append" command.
Otherwise, behaves perfectly.
I can confirm this (on linux). Well done, Allin!
