Thank you for your answer, and I want to know more.
I am sorry for my detail question,
I want to forecast the volatility for the next day.
So the equation shoud be the following:
h_{t+1} = alpha_0 + alpha_1 * e_t^2 + beta_1 * h_t
My question is how I can get h_t, even though I don't know e_{t-1} and
h_{t-1} for the h_t equation.
And I also want to know how to get e_t, then, and what is y_t? Is it the
actual volatility?
Equation you gave me.
y_t = m + e_t
V(e_t) = h_t = alpha_0 + alpha_1 * e_{t-1}^2 + beta_1 h_{t-1}
Thank you very much for your support.

By default gretl estimates a model where the conditional mean is constant,
so
"const" is the estimate of m in the following pair of
equations:
y_t = m + e_t
V(e_t) = h_t = alpha_0 + alpha_1 * e_{t-1}^2 + \beta_1 h_{t-1}
note that V(e_t) should be read as the *conditional* variance of e_t.
In your example, the estimate for m is 0.000553614 and so on.
