I have some problems with gretl (snapshop on windows 8) automatically

store "testme.csv" --csv xList # writes file in
'shelldir' -> ok
string readme = readfile("testme2.csv") # reads file in 'shelldir'

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

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).
