I'm not 100% certain, but pretty sure this has never worked. The difficulty is that commands within a loop are handled "deep inside" libgretl, as opposed to commands registered via GUI point-and-click or the gui console. (The processing of commands within a loop is shared between the gretl GUI program and gretlcli, which has no concept of "named models".) So to get this sort of thing to work we need to exploit a "callback function" from libgretl to the GUI program, whereby libgretl says, "Hey, the user wants to save this model under a given name, can you handle that?". As it happens, I'm working on that right now (I started earlier today). What I'm aiming to implement is: * the ability to save a named model within a loop; * the ability to add the last model to the "model table" within a loop; plus * the corresponding functionality for graphs within loops (save named graph; add graph to the GUI "graph page"). So this is something that, hopefully, should be available before too long.
