Maybe we should enable use of a proxies that require
authentication, but it probably won't happen real soon.

Ok, I think that this is not a priority.

The function packages can be downloaded via

http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/gretl/cgi-bin/gretldata.cgi?opt=SHOW_FUNCS

I need to put a link to this somewhere, but if you know where
to look, it's there.

I think we could place it below the "data for gretl" (on the left side of Gretl's website). What do you think?

Most applications in Mac OS X would save additional, modifiable, version independent stuff in e.g. ~/Library/Application Support/<AppName>.
A lot actually do.

Why not ~/Library/Application Support/Gretl?
That way a user home directory doesn't get filled beyond what's there already.

I think this place is by far the most adequate :-)

Thanks for your help and comments Allin and Berend!

Um abraço,
