Re: [Gretl-users] locale bug?

I repeated what I did yesterday and I regret to say that I get
the same warning. The only difference is that I have to click on
OK once to get it out of the way and start gretl (BTW the script
window appears again, equally illegible).
The trouble here is that this is not a script file (it's a zipped
session file), yet it's being opened as if it were a script.
How exactly are you opening the file? I have tested here on Linux
(not yet on Windows), and I find that double-clicking the file
icon, or dragging it onto gretl, or opening it via the
"File/Session file/Open session" menu item, or giving the filename
as a command-line argument, now does the right thing with session
files. But if the file previously found its way (wrongly) onto
the list of recently-opened script files, then attempting to open
it from that list will produce the symptoms you describe.
On the other hand, I am happy to report that the crash (upon
double-clicking the VECM icon) has been solved.
OK, good.
I do, however, have another -newbe type- question. Are the
session folders (which are automatically created at the default
gretl directory at C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\gretl\) supposed to be empty?
They are temporary storage space for session elements such as
graph files. They're supposed to be cleaned up on exit. Of
course, if the program crashes, that won't happen :-(
Allin.
