st: merging variable labels

[David Airey <david.airey@vanderbilt.edu>]

I was sent two files, one containing data that could be imported using 
insheet, with variable names in the first row, and the other containing 
variable names and a short explanation of each variable. Is there an 
easy way to label the variables with the explanations without typing 
them in by hand using the label variable command?

Sincerely,

-Dave
