[Gretl-users] "*.show" command within if...endif

[yinung at Gmail]

Dear All

I occasionally found that the following script responds an error. It seems
that "show" command is not consistent with the "If" condition. It works
well when I change to "scalar plot=1."

I can replicate this in gretl 1.9.12 under XP and gretl 1.9.12cvs under
ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks.
