I have some problems with gretl (snapshop on windows 8) automatically adding 
its 'shelldir' to a file path:

eval shelldir
open abdata.gdt
list xList = YEAR IND CAP
store "testme.csv" --csv xList                     # writes file in 
'shelldir' -> ok
string readme = readfile("testme2.csv")   # reads file in 'shelldir' -> ok

Not OK surely. There's no file "testme2.csv", is there?

print readme
open "testme.csv"                                       # *fails *to read 
file in 'shelldir' ->*why?*
string file = shelldir
file +="\testme.csv"
open @file                                                    # works
<hansl>

With the filename fixed, the script works here. I'm not sure why it 
doesn't work for you, but I've now tweaked something in the "open" code 
which might make a difference (CVS and snapshots).
