Not all these cases. The first one requires a scalar parameter in the function and the last two require an integer calling a different function for each option. A parameter cannot be a scalar and an integer simultaneouly. May be I could manage it with two parameters but I have done it some times I don't like the result very much (see for example second and third parameters in GHegy package). Probably we need a way that a package can call a sub-dialog box ... (I leave it in the air)

The reason is that this function is very old (I think it is previous to the existence of "packages") and probably needs a complete update.

But in last versions of gretl we have the possibility of adding a help document via a pdf file (see package 'almonreg') I will try to write the help in Latex and generate a pdf file.
