AFAIK you can only discriminate betweeen UNIXish systems (OS/X, Linux) and Windows systems. To give you an impression, I have attached a small script which uses the $windows variable in order to offer some file routines in a platform independent manner to gretl scripts.

That was a bug, now fixed in CVS. > *Question 2* > Is it possible to insert some instruction on a Gretl script file > in order to make Gretl recognize what operational system it is > running on?

You have the accessor $windows, <console> ? help $windows $windows Output: scalar Returns 1 if gretl is running on MS Windows, otherwise 0. By conditioning on the value of this variable you can write shell calls that are portable across different operating systems. </console> We don't have a specific indicator for OS X.
