There are at least three ways to open a data file or script file

suitably associated with gretl:
Let me add another piece of evidence. This is on Windows 10 set to
German, and I've created a folder with a cyrillic name (привет). Don't
know the encoding that is used then.
1) In the native file manager, double-click on the file: this should
send a directive to the operating system to launch gretl with the given
filename as a command-line argument.
This gives an error window from gretl, with the cyrillic letters in the
path replaced by '??????'. (Although transliteration to 'privet'
actually wouldn't be difficult here.)
2) Start gretl, then locate and select the file via the native file
manager, and drag the file onto the main gretl window.
Works! (apparently in contrast to what Periklis reports for his case?)
3) Start gretl then use its menus (e.g. /File/Open data/User file...)
to
launch the GTK File dialog, select the desired file, then click the
"Open" button (or double-click).
also works! (also different from Periklis' case?)
So here's what I've found: methods 2 and 3 work fine to open
a file
within a Greek-named directory, but method 1 fails as you showed,
same here.
thanks,
