Here are answers to the remainder of Sven's questions about 
obscure strings in gretl.pot:

> 15) Daily date to represent week:
> what values can date take here?

To see the context, go to Sample/Dataset structure.  Select "time 
series", then weekly.  The marked string appears at the top of the 
next dialog.

> 16) scale
> size? magnification? ...

Context: open (say) data9-7 from Ramanathan.  Do a time-series 
plot of QNC and PRICE.  Click on the graph to edit, and go to the 
"Lines" tab in the dialog box.  "scale" indicates the scale factor 
that will be applied to the series.

> 20) Seasonal
> seasonal dummy, effect, or what?

You'll see the context here if you open a quarterly or monthly
time-series dataset and then open the ARIMA dialog box.  There
are two sets of selectors for AR and MA orders, labeled
"Seasonal" and "Non-seasonal".  Could be expanded to "Seasonal 
order".
