I copied and pasted the sample above, and current gretl interpreted 
it as time series OK (monthly, 1987:02 to 1987:06). Two questions 
therefore suggest themselves:

(1) What version of gretl are you using? (Maybe the problem is due 
to a bug that is already fixed.)

(2) What does the rest of the CSV file look like? (Maybe there's 
some inconsistency in the remainder of the file that rules out a 
consistent time series interpretation of the data.)
