Given that the issue of the functions available on the server is currently debated I add a (very) trivial suggestion that may add some usability at zero cost. Since the number of functions available is growing, and will hopefully grow even more rapidly, it would be useful to set the standard of describing them with a phrase starting with one or two relevant keywords. For instance, the functions "bootstrap Chow test VAR models" and "Structural VARs" would become "VAR bootstrap Chow test" and "VAR structural" and would be next to each other in the alphabetic list and immediately found by a user looking for VAR routines. bye, Stefano -- _________________________________________________________________________ Stefano Fachin Professore Ordinario di Statistica Economica Dip. di Scienze Statistiche Università di Roma "La Sapienza" P.le A.
