You can't create a list of models as such, in gretl, but you have
the condition

if $coeff[2] < 0 && $coeff[3] > 0
  # do something
endif

The "something" might be saving the model specification as a
string, or saving the ID numbers of the X and Z series as
a row of a matrix, or (in the GUI) re-running the estimation
command so as to save a named model, as in

model$i <- ols ...
