My suggestion is use something like this: print list1 --names or print list1 --varnamesActually it's not so easy to arrange that. The thing is that lists are basically "transparent" to gretl commands: they automatically cash out to their membership. And option flags are generally used to inflect how a command is executed, not to change radically how it is parsed, as would have to happen here. But here's an alternative you might like: eval varname(list1) This now works in CVS/snapshots. It should have worked before but there was a bug in "eval" for handling anonymous strings.
