I use cvs gretl updated taday at noon on debian/jassie What I have done to all textbooks datafiles and scripts worked properly from menu: 1 moved directories as shown 2 created >POE4data (as shown) and moved gdt files from /data to /POE4data 3 copied gdt files from data/stock_watson to /data and erased empty data/stock_watson 4 untared  stock_watson_scripts.zip  and  POE4_scripts.zip  to get stock_watson (yes) and POE4_scripts Proposal: make different names for SW data and scripts directories inside gretl site archives Make unpacking behavior the same for all textbooks data Change reading directory for sample data files  from  /gretl to /gretl/data
