You hit on the reason exactly yourself... It is *run* as a normal
do-file, so type -nois njc-

This is very much in the vein of the UNIX command 'fortune' which is
often used to provide little welcome messages to when people log into a
system (one reference being http://www.redellipse.net/code/fortune).
I therefore thought it would be nice to have a comment displayed on
starting, and I thought that adding the following to the end of my
~/bin/profile.do would do just that...
----------------start profile.do-------------------- quietly{ adopath ++
"~/ado/updates"
adopath + "~/ado/new"
}
njc
-----------------end profile.do--------------------
...but to no avail.
Any suggestions as to why this?
Setting -set trace on- on the line after the closing '}' and before
-njc- shows that the call is made and the file parsed, but I can't the
message shown.
-man profileu- indicates that it is run and sourced exactly as a normal
do-file, the only difference being that it is automatically sourced upon
starting Stata, so why are the results ommited?
