Thank you very much. I will incorporate this into my startup routine. If
there were a suggestion box for Stata 10, however, I would put this in it.

Subject: st: RE: default version of abbrev(n) for list?
No; I don't think so. But you can write your own command wiring this in.
program mylist
version 8
syntax [varlist] [if] [in] [, abbrev(int 16) * ]
list `varlist' `if' `in', abbrev(`abbrev') `options'
end
You can even allow abbreviations:
program myl
version 8
mylist `0'
end
program myli
version 8
mylist `0'
end
program mylis
version 8
mylist `0'
end
