One way of tackling this is by writing a wrapper command, say
program oscmd
version 8.2
tempfile foo
!`0' > `foo'
type `foo'
end
When you then type
. oscmd dir *.dta /od
Stata opens a temporary file, then opens up a shell in which your
arguments are executed and the results sent to a temporary file.
Stata finally types the file. More elaborate variants could be written
to process the file.

Is it possible to obtain an ordered directory of files from within
Stata? For example in Windows using a command prompt, one can type
dir *.dta /o:d
to get a listing of files in order of modification date.
Apparently the -dir- comand in Stata does not take any sort options.
Also, typing
!dir *.dta /o:d
is useless because the output immediately disappears from the screen.
