st: Drop in a do file

Hi...

I am automating a bunch of commands in a do file, so I can rerun the do file, just changing the argument.

If I have a:

drop km*

in my do file, the first time thru, it fails because it can't drop it.

No problem, since I can run as: do clusterk 4, nostop 
and it goes fine.

However, if I rerun the next time thru as: do clusterk 6, nostop, it fails with error number 198,
saying that variable km2 exists. You can see that the drop works though, since it disappears
from the variables window.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Joe
