	Is not cross-platform:  does not work on Macintosh versions of Stata.

	On my monitor (17" LCD) there is quite a lot of blank space in the  
toolbar and the status bar.  It would seem to be a good place to have  
the option to list:  (1) the current working directory (as it does  
now in the status bar), (2) the active Stata datafile, (3) any  
currently open file IO (log, file, etc.).  My preference would be an  
option (preference) to list any or all three of those pieces of  
information.  (Personally, I don't find the tiny "log open" indicator  
at the bottom of the results window very useful.)  And that it be  
cross-platform.

	I guess that should go on *my* wishlist -- which, from teaching a  
course that made extensive use of Stata last spring, now stands a  
good dozen items long.  Maybe I'll clean it up at the beginning of  
next semester and forward it to the list.  Seasons greetings!
