The first 9 are available in the Gretl version of the FRED database. The rest 
are not. I have updated the Gretl database. It looks as if the Gretl version 
only has US data, and this is only up to April 2025. The ideal would be able to 
write a script to directly address the FRED as Riccardo has suggested.

Many thanks,
Roland
