Talha, a variable can be various things, including scalars, series, and other stuff, so it's not a bug. But it's true that it may not be totally clear to new users why they aren't getting a constant series when entering c=1. I think this could be solved by including a hint in the text of the small dialog window (sth like "use 'scalar' or 'series' to avoid ambiguities if necessary"). > >>> 4)- In the scalars window, I can keep left clicking the "Add" button >>> and gretl keeps adding empty scalar lines. >> Fine, don't keep clicking if you don't want empty scalar lines. > Thanks for the workaround! > Well, I will tell you about these things only if you want to hear about them. > hey, take it easy... many other developers in other projects sound *always* much more snappy (if that's the right term) than Allin did just  *once* now. BTW I would tend to agree that the current behavior is really not a problem and arguably the most convenient behavior not only for the program (and its programmer) but also for the user. We don't want more nagging alert windows I think. cheers, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
