Perhaps you should either put your script repository where gretl will always find it, like the user dir (see table 4.1 in the manual), which under Windows should be C:\Users\<yourusername>\Documents\gretl and under Linux: ~/gretl Then you wouldn't need to mess with paths at all in your scripts, just do "include me.inp". Or if for backup purposes or whatever you want to put them somewhere else, switch to using "more absolute" paths. What I mean is paths that are only relative to the user's home directory. (You can get that path prefix on Windows with 'getenv("userprofile")', and on Linux with 'getenv("HOME")'.) hth, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
