...So i tried to save to csv instead, and initially it worked . But then I did White's test, which (very conveniently) drops the output on not only a separate window but also appends it to the orginal output. But if i save the original output as csv, the label "White's test for heteroskedasticity" appears, but not the actual results of the test. The separate window for the White's output has no file--> save as menu option, but if I right-click, i can finally get that save to yet another file. It would be much nicer if the White's test results -- rather than merely the label (which is surprising) -- showed up on the original output csv

It may seem like I'm complaining about trivia, but if I run 20 or 30 OLS models  and save them all to csv files, I can very easily write a small Python script to scoop all  those files up, pick and choose the output i want, and write it all out to one nice little summary table. Copy/paste that one table to my research, big time saver. Thanks for your help.

This is apparently the same as bug #84, from six years ago. I run OLS models, try to save out put to text file(s), and get error "Invalid byte sequence in conversion input". My language preference setting was originally "Automatic", but I changed it to "English", closed gretl, restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?
