[Gretl-devel] Regarding the dataset command (Was: Feature request for sorting of variables)

[andreas.rosenblad at ltv.se]

Could you also add another option under the "dataset" command, e.g.
"dataset deleteobs <parameter>", where e.g. "dataset deleteobs 3, 5, 11-22"
would delete observations 3, 5 and 11-22 from the data set (i.e. from all
variables in the data set) and "dataset deleteobs x>0" would delete all
observations where x>0 from the dataset.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for a great software.
Andreas
