Using Ubuntu 8.04, I put the lenny repository into synaptic and updated 
all the files that appeared to be associated with Gretl. I then 
deactivated the lenny repository because synaptic wanted to update ~600 
other files. Everything seems to be working fine. So, assuming that I 
have not broken something I have yet to discover, what functions do the 
APT commands serve (I am a beginner on linux)? Thanks for the help.
