I sent this note out yesterday, and I noticed that I did not get it on 
my download from the server. I'm testing this to find out if there is a 
problem  with my connection with the server.

If anyone gets this please just let me know if you got the message.

thanks

Can someone out there in stataland, tell me why this is not working?

I"ve taken it from the latest book by Lawrence Hamilton, Statistics with 
Stata 8. I"ve used his books for teaching stata for ten years it seems. 
This problem,  however, has me baffled. If someone has a thought on what 
is wrong I'd appreciate it.

graph twoway scatter f1 f2, yline(0) xline(0) mlabel(planet) 
mlabsize(medsmall) ylabel(, angle(horizontal)) xlabel ( -1.5 ( -.5 ) 
1.5, grid)
option xlabel() not allowed invalid syntax
r(198);


The horizonatal scales runs from a -2.0 to a 2.0. The actual values of 
the factor scores, however, are between -1.5 and a positive 1.5. So I'm 
a bit lost on this one. I can't figure out why the response is xlabel 
not allowed.

thanks for any help you might provide.
