Re: [Gretl-users] a list in a bundle?

OTOH that would also affect the lists themselves, whether or not they are also part of a bundle. So I suppose there must be something else going on as well. Personally I don't really bother with the ID numbers, precisely because they can change all the time. To my mind, the unique key to a series is simply its identifier (the string), and nothing else. AFAI understand, internally these need to be mapped to some ID number because the number then essentially gives the position of the series in the internal dataset array (or something closely related). If a list were just a collection of names of series which would be resolved to the actual series every time something is done with the list (or its members), then I don't see any reason why a list couldn't also live in a bundle. But I guess for performance reason that's not quite how they work. good luck with your project, sven
