Here's a trivial example scalar i loop i=1..4   delete i endloop But there are many possibilities for much less obvious trouble caused by deleting scalars (and also series or lists) inside loops. However, it seems safe enough to allow deletion of matrices, strings and bundles in loops, so this is now enabled in CVS.

Actually, I was looking for a possibility to delete series, but I guess I'll just live with them. Uhm... what does CVS stand for?

The "snapshots" of gretl for Windows and OS X are synced with CVS with a variable (but usually quite short) lag.

I plan to do some work on my SVAR package next week, possibly with Sven's help, if he can (are you there, Sven?). However, I have a question for the community: as things stand, my SVAR functions can be used in a script quite nicely, but lack a GUI interface, simply because I wouldn't know how to design one (eg: how would you specify contraints through a GUI interface?). Would it be very bad if I uploaded SVAR as a function package with _no_ graphical hook? In other words: is the function package concept an adequate container for something that is supposed to be hansl-only? Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Universit?
