Fixed, but this is a little tricky.  I have given "pointer" 
parameter types the following names for the purposes of XML 
storage and DTD validation:

scalarref
seriesref
matrixref

If you define a function with the usual form, e.g. "matrix *M",
the type will automatically be written as "matrixref" in the
(XML) .gfn file.  The read-back for this has required a small
change in gretl_func.c.  This means that new-style .gfn files
using "*" parameters will require gretl 1.6.2.

Allin.
