I just tested on macOS 10.15.3, both the 2020b-git snapshot from March 5 (which was already in place) and the 2020b release. At first I had a problem running gnuplot but this was apparently due to a stale ~/.gretl2rc. After deleting that gnuplot works fine from within gretl. I'm now updating the iMac in question to 10.15.4, and we'll see what happens... Allin
