st: permutation problem

["Nikolaos A. Patsopoulos" <npatsop@cc.uoi.gr>]

Hi all,

I have n rows and want to run a program, lets say /list/, in n-k rows 
where 2<=k<=n. The tricky part is that I want to run the program to all 
possible permutations (n,k).
Should I use mata or is there a simpler solution?

Thanks in advance,

Nikos
