So there must be an error in the help file for the insheet command then -
when I type "help insheet "I get:
insheet [varlist] using filename [, options]
Which is incorrect, if I am reading these responses correctly.
Also - I am using the Stata for mac, sorry if I didn't specify that.

Ben,
You cannot select variables with -insheet-.
sysuse auto
outsheet using auto.csv, comma
clear
insheet make price mpg using auto.csv
too few variables specified
error in line 76 of file
r(102);
insheet using auto.csv
(12 vars, 74 obs)
