I've looked into it: with the current gretl snapshot, running on 
XP, I can enter a column of numbers by typing

value
Enter (or down-arrow)
value
Enter
value etc.

That is, the cell that Enter moves into is ready to accept 
numerical input, as it should be.

The cell-cursor admittedly does not immediately look like the 
editing cursor (this issue may perhaps be fixable), but it turns 
into the editing cursor as soon as I type.
