Using

gretlcli -b myscript.inp > clilog.txt

I don't save any time with respect to running the script inside GUI 
gretl and applying the 'outfile null --write' trick.

But I notice what may be a slight bug: myscript.inp is correctly read 
from my configured workdir, but clilog.txt is saved in ~ (= $PWD I 
guess) instead of the workdir. Or is this intended?
