Re: st: Re: how to save ado files

["b. water" <barleywater@hotmail.com>]

Olivier, Friedrich,

Thnak you for your suggestions.

Olivier, I have tried that. It did not work. It still save the file as 
filename.ado.txt. I have saved it in the right place (I think) c:/ado/under 
the right alphabet. I have to follow Friedrich suggestion below to save it 
as ado file.

Friedrich, you are right. I have chosen the option in the explorer as you 
suggested. I have renamed the extension to ado and now the icon is the same 
as the other ado. However problem prove harder to overcome. Stata still gave 
me the unrecognised command error r(199) when it encounters the line of my 
do-file that excutes the hacked ado file.

Any other idea?

Thanks,
bw
