There seems to be a bug using the --robust-hac option within a loop, as can be seen using the example below. I run current CVS on linux. ---------- open denmark var 2 LRM LRY --robust-hac #Robust(-hac) option without exogenous loop for i=1..1 var $i LRM LRY --⁠robust-hac endloop loop for i=1..1 var $i LRM LRY --⁠robust endloop ------------------- The error message is : "Invalid option '--⁠robust-hac'"

One further point: only '--robust' but not '-hac' appears coloured in the script editor here.
