Well thanks, but it's not working... After typing "gretlw32.exe -g" (or
--debug) nothing happens. (In contrast to "gretlw32.exe", which starts
gretl alright, so it's not a path issue or something like that.)

However, it may be unnecessary anyway; I read somewhere that stdout and
stderr for any Windows program can be redirected to text files when the
programs are started like this (assuming proper write permissions):

1) stdout:
gretlw32.exe >gretlout.txt

2) stderr:
gretlw32.exe 2>gretlerrout.txt
