st: RE: Novel feature of -shell- under Windows

[Steven Dubnoff <sdubnoff@circlesys.com>]

Personally, I never install applications in "C:\Program Files", at least 
when the installer gives me a choice.  The Stat/Transfer installer defaults 
to that ungainly root because it is a Windows convention, but you are free 
to Stat/Transfer in any directory you would like.

If the "shell" command in Stata is causing you problems, I suggest you 
simply re-install Stat/Transfer in another directory without spaces in its 
name (e.g. "c:\apps\st7").  Your fingers will appreciate your effort.

Best,

Steve
