Thanks.  The closing of the session icon window was just due to 
the fact that the calling script opens a new data file.  If you 
open denmark.gdt manually first, then run the test script with the 
"open" line commented out, the session icon window is not closed, 
and it displayed the temporary matrices.  This is now fixed.

Other small fixes.  (a) The Help button in the function call 
window: the function help text is now word-wrapped rather than 
showing very long lines. (b) If you fail to specify a required 
argument in the GUI function call window, and press OK, you get an 
error message.  That's fine, but previously the call window closed 
on this error.  Now it stays open, waiting for correct input, 
unless you click Cancel.

Allin.
