Dear Allin, unfortunately it didn't worked as I think it is expected. Now we have problems trying to visualize text output created by the "output" command using Notepad (the standard text editor on Windows). Please take a look at the attached images. IMHO if the solution is too difficult to implement I think the old behavior is better because I believe the situation where the user saves a text file to open with Notepad is a more common task than re-open it in Gretl for further analysis.
