[Gretl-devel] fdjac doc typo?

Ok, the fdjac function is very cool, I just discovered it this week, and 
after some heavy scripting it has given me some very useful results. 
Thanks for this great functionality! (And for the excellent 
documentation, I wouldn't have even known the function existed without 
it. From the start of my involvement with gretl I have always been 
impressed by the quality and extent of the docs, it's really a big 
argument in favor of gretl!)

Now, it seems to me that fdjac does not accept more than two matrix 
arguments. When I had a version where a (redundant) third matrix was 
passed --apart from theta and another necessary input matrix-- I just 
got a zero Jacobian matrix as a result (mind you, no error, which was 
not nice either). Then I removed that redundant argument and everything 
was ok.

If so, it should be documented (or fixed?). I know I know, I should give 
an example, but right now I can't, maybe later.

thanks,
sven
