No need to apologise, I should have stated I was using Stata 7 (upgrade to 8
on the way). All working fine now - many thanks,
Patrick

!!! Correction (and apology!): I guess that you are using Stata 7,
and that you are seeing a bug or a limitation of Stata 7.
Stata 7 in effect ignores the code "if show3 == 1" after
the brace. Whether that's a bug or not, it belongs to history.
Stata won't fix it now. Stata 7 is frozen at its last update.
