Sorry for the delay in responding. I'll have to try this out on
Windows and see if I can find what the issue is. (I checked on
Linux and didn't find a problem with non-interactive mode.)
OK, just tried on Windows and I see what you mean. I had an older
version of R installed (2.9.1) and that worked fine executing a
script from gretl non-interactively. Then I updated to R 2.11.1
and saw exactly what you saw, "the system can't find the specified
path". There has evidently been some backward-incompatible change
in the default R installation; I'll try to track it down.
