When I type -help saveold- in I get this. It does show intercooled.


help for saveold 
                        manual:  [R] save
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save datasets as version 7 format

saveold [filename] [, nolabel replace all intercooled ]


Description
saveold stores the dataset currently in memory on disk under the name 
filename.  The dataset is saved in
Stata's version 7 format.


Options

nolabel omits value labels from the saved dataset.  The associations 
between variables and value label
names, however, are saved along with the dataset and variable labels. 
It is unlikely that you will ever want to specify this option.

replace permits save to overwrite an existing dataset.  replace may not 
be abbreviated.

all is for use by programmers.  If specified, e(sample) will be saved 
with the dataset.

intercooled instructs Stata/SE to write the dataset in the Intercooled 
Stata format, after verifying that
there are no variables longer than str80.  You should rarely need this 
option; see help SpecialEdition for details.
