I wish Stata could have more than one data set in memory.
I'm curious: (1) What could you accomplish under such a setup that
you cannot currently (given the many data management commands already
in Stata)? (2) How would one prevent data management complications
(same name for different variables in different datasets; specifying
which dataset(s) to write to, frequency and/or sample period
mismatches, etc.) that do not arise under the current setup?

2. Tital bar should read "Intercooled Stata x.x - [active.dta]"
Personally, I would favor an option for the Variables window to list
the name (with a full path option) of the currently open data set --
but below the window title, in a smaller font size. A visual indicator
also could be included to signify whether changes have been made to
variables that have not yet been saved to a database. The key here is
optional, as some users are likely to prefer a sparser interface. Just
a thought.
