User Guide 4.4 refers to the `import` command.
It does not appear in the command ref.
If you go to the console and type::

        help import

you are told `import` is not a gretl command.
It is of course, but apparently undocumented?

I'd like to import data from a CSV file.
I'd like to do this in a script.
In addition to being able to specify the date
range,I need the following functionality:

skiplines: the number of lines to skip at the
        beginning of the file
usecols: which columns to use for data
varnames: specify names (which are not in the CSV file)

Possible?

Finally, if specifying the date range is not possible,
is it possible to reset the dataset structure at the
command line (rather than via menus)?

Thanks,
Alan
