[Gretl-users] Suggestion on forecasting; copy/paste issue

When I select "Model data" > "Forecasts ..." in, say, the OLS platform, gretl graphs and tabulates forecasts and confidence intervals. Unfortunately forecasts CANNOT BE SAVED (so I usually type them in manually). Would you consider adding this functionality? Another somewhat related issue. Say I right-click on a variable and select "Display values" - an output window opens and the values are nicely tabulated. Now, if I click the copy icon, I can choose among "RTF (MS Word)", "Table (MS Word)", CSV (Spreadsheet)" and "plain text"; then, depending on my previous choice, I may be presented with a final dialog in which I may choose among comma, space and tab. Well, THESE DON'T WORK -- no matter which one I select, the clipboard always contains TEXT. This, I think, is an IMPORTANT issue because it hinders copying and pasting columns of data in Excel; if you copy multiple columns and past them in Excel, they end up in ONE Excel column and data look like (ALL IN ONE EXCEL COLUMN): Year Var1 '1970 2.87897838 '1971 3.06792340 '1972 3.40698470 '1973 4.28687556 Excel 2003 does NOT seem to be doing the translation correctly. Is this a gretl issue or am I missing something? Regards from Greece John Paravantis University of Piraeus
