Ok, this is a complete shot in the dark, but you never know. Suppose you
have gretl open and the data is in. If you try to open the inp file by
double-clicking on it, another instance of gretl is run, of course without
data. That would explain the message: the data are in gretl 1, while the
script was opened by gretl 2.
I'm sorry if this sounds utterly silly, but it's the only thing I can
think of.
Brilliant lateral thinking! I suspect that must be it. If so, let
me point out that the quick GUI way of opening a script in gretl
without starting another instance of the program is drag-and-drop:
drag the script icon onto gretl rather than double-clicking it.
Allin.
