Hiya, I will be using Gretl to teach third year Economics students who may not be familiar with software nor mathematics in general. The Open University does accept students from very heterogeneous backgrounds and is sometimes the only possibility some people have to undertake further studies because of its flexible entry requirements. So my query aims to avoid creating additional hurdles to these students who may not be very familiar with numbers and alternative notations. Gretl outputs tend to use a scientific notation when numbers have too many zeros and few non-zero digits. How could this be changed? Could we have access to the code that generates the format of displayed numbers? How could we then integrate it into the Gretl downloadable file? Thanks so much! Cristina
