Re: st: Re: foreach program

I'm glad to hear that it worked out.  The real power of Stata often comes 
from knowing how to avoid looping or at least avoid executing an -if- 
condition on a large dataset within a big loop.  The -collapse- 
and -reshape- are also pretty useful.

Maybe you should name your next child -reshape- or -collapse-?
