eval varname(L)

Gretl is not deleting lists.
Thanks for the report. This was fallout from the "new tokenizer" which
went into CVS lately to replace the old command parser. It's good that
we're shaking these bugs out.
Given a list named "L" what ought to happen (as per the User's Guide) is
that
1) "delete L" deletes all the series in list L (which then leaves you with
an empty list), while
2) "list L delete" deletes the named list itself, without affecting the
member series.
True enough, that was not working right. It's now fixed in CVS and
snapshots.

Dear Allin,
I think the problem is only partly fixed. Look at the follonwng script:
matrix M={1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}
delete --type=matrix
It works OK withe the gretl 1.9.92 but when run with the CVS it fails to
work and the messages are:
? matrix M={1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}
Generated matrix M
? delete --type=matrix
Command has insufficient arguments
Error executing script: halting
delete --type=matrix
I assume it is closely related with the
delete list problem but somehow
was not fixed.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your excelent work,
Javier Sansa
