Thanks to all your responses. My Version is 1.10.0cvs under
Windows. I noticed that you even don't have to comment out. Just
rerun the script and you get alternating error messages.
I fixed my script now (see below), though it might still be a good
idea to fix this strange behavior if possible.

Thanks, Thorsten. It doesn't seem that this behavior (that is, the
misbehavior on gretl's part that you're describing) would differ by
platform but certainly stranger things have happened. I'll try
testing myself on Windows tomorrow.
