In the present state of things, I translate statically with a space
separating values:
X ~ N(1.5 25)

Ah, how about this? At present the text in the new variable
dialog says "Enter formula for new variable". It coul

My two cents go with option 2, option 3 even. IMHO not being able to
use commas for input is crippling and discarding them altogether even
for output could be very counter productive.

I just want to say that option 2 currently in use is a good solution,
and option 1 should be discarded. I am opposing discarding localized
settings!

considered as a goal in the future, an

Since it's user-configurable, I agree this is not a real issue.

Hi,
a nasty because potentially unnoticed bug just bit me with gretl 1.6.5
on a German windows:
Gretl was set to use the German decimal separator (comma) and so I typed
"v2 = v1 / 98,3" in the define-new-variable dialog.
However, gretl effectively seems to have calculated v1/98 without the
