Wouldn't it be an option for you to set the workdir (CWD) accordingly in the
first place?
Apart from that, I managed to dig up an old thread from the devel list, see
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2009-August/002063.html
-- OMG, more than eight years ago...
"gretl should be able to find ... relative paths such as "../foo" "
If it doesn't work, it would be interesting to hear. Also, I guess this could be
better documented.

Ah, the thing is that the scripts are lying in a separate folder from the one I am using.
I have a general repository for the scripts and "load" the functions within them
whenever I need them (and improve them, too). Gretl itself seems to have no problem with
scripts relative to the scripts own path if I have the script open. However, in my
example, I have a script "A" for a current project open and from this load a
script "B" which again loads a bunch of other scripts "C" defined with
relative paths to "B". I do, however, not try to move "up" in the
paths.
