Phil,
thank you. I was not aware of <viewsource>.
I'm still puzzled about this (undocumented) wrapper... what's its
purpose? Prompting me to ask the statalist? :)
More seriously, my conclusion is that <verinst> is no longer
available/working in Stata 10, and will fix my lecture notes
accordingly.
Best regards,
Giovanni
