Andrea, you are already passing options to your program.  Here are the 
first few lines:

capture program drop regse
program regse
local dep `1'
local xvar "`2'"
local cons `3'

Now add this line:

local var `4'


Later on, when you call regse, you have this line:

regse uset`var'PRE "$xvarsetPRE" conssePRE


Change that to

regse uset`var'PRE "$xvarsetPRE" conssePRE `var'

I haven't actually tried it, but I think this, or something like this, will 
work.
