The thing is that lists are basically "transparent" to gretl commands: they automatically cash out to their membership. And option flags are generally used to inflect how a command is executed, not to change radically how it is parsed, as would have to happen here. But here's an alternative you might like: eval varname(list1)

This now works in CVS/snapshots. It should have worked before but there was a bug in "eval" for handling anonymous strings. Allin Cottrell _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
