Just in case, I'll shoot a wild guess. You have two apps that come with gretl, the command-line client and the graphical client. I'm assuming that, like most windows users, you're using the graphical client. There are basically 3 ways to use the program: 1) via the menus: in this case, when you issue a command, a new window opens with the results. 2) via a script: when you run the script, a new window opens after completion with the results. 3) through the console: this is most similar to the command-line interface. Basically, you open a command window, you type in commands as you would in a script and results are displayed in that same window. I may be wrong, but it sounds like you want to use (3): it's under "Outils->Console gretl" in the french version. Please do!
