Well, actually, I should say thanks to Allin and Jack for the
implementation and they should say thanks to StataCorp for the idea ;-)
By the way, I've been playing with it a little and it looks like a great
way to introduce users (esp students) to hansl commands. At this point, I
have a few more ideas, feedback welcome.
* It should be possible to open it automatically when you launch gretl (at
least, we should have a GUI option for that under
Tools>Preferences>General). At present, it must be non-empty.
* An icon for that at the bottom of the main window may have the effect of
having people discover it ("What's this for?"). As of now, it's like a
hidden gem.
* A "Clear" button would be nice.
* Also, it'd be quite cool to have the gears icon in that window too, so
you can highlight and re-run a bunch of commands.
As I said, feedback welcome.
