I'm afraid that suggestion has its own problems, since according to gretl terminology you start a new "session" whenever you open a new datafile in a running instance of gretl. (Saved models are discarded, the command log is re-started, and so on). So the phrase "new session" doesn't really pick out the specific case of starting a new instance of gretl. I suppose the word "copy" (as in "new copy of gretl") could be used instead of "instance", if people think that's any better. > Allin, is it too much difficult implement the use of capital letters > (A,B,C,...) instead of the PID? Yes. It is subject to the same problem as trying to call them 1,2,3,... I explained the problem in http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2013-April/004401.html It would be quite possible to get two instances of gretl with the same title -- unless we resort to overly complex and CPU-wasting contortions.
