Dear Allen,

I remained speechless .... :)

Today I talked about this option with my colleagues. They also said that this will be perfect...and now it is.
Additionally, I think that the speed of the estimating a model is one of the key factors when choosing econometric software. 
In support of this thinking, Gretl is very fast (i.e. user friendly) and this is also one of its advantages compared to other popular software. 
I noticed that Gretl supports import/export of data from a large range of econometric software but one is missing...Microfit, and I must say that is very used. 
What do you think about implementing this possibility too? 

Manny
