# The gretl console

A further option is available for your computing convenience. Under `gretl`'s Utilities menu you will find the item "Gretl console" (there is also an "open gretl console" button on the toolbar in the main window). This opens up a window in which you can type commands and execute them one by one (by pressing the Enter key) interactively. This is essentially the same as `gretlcli`'s mode of operation, except that the GUI is updated based on commands executed from the console, enabling you to work back and forth as you wish.

In the console, you have "command history"; that is, you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate the list of command you have entered to date. You can retrieve, edit and then re-enter a previous command.

In console mode, you can create, display and free objects (models, graphs or text) aa described above for script mode.
