Darn! That's too bad.
Phil, thank you for the explanation and offer. I am pretty happy
using Stata's do-file editor, even considering this shortcoming, but
I will think about trying TextMate some time in the future.

Can anyone tell me if and how I might do this on Stata 10 for Macintosh?
Not possible, I'm afraid. Stata (when last I checked) supports only
the required set of Apple Events (Open Application, Open Document,
Print Document, and Quit Application). And Open Document when
called on a do-file will run it -- not open it in the editor. Thus,
the only way to accomplish what you want is to write a shell script
that grabs the path to your selected file, creates a temporary
do-file with the line:
doedit <filepath>
and then uses an Applescript to ask Stata to open this temporary
file. Of course, the alternative is to get a good text editor and
then set the Finder to use that editor to open files with the .do
extension. This would mean that double-clicking on the file would
open it for editing; you could also right-click and open the file in
Stata (i.e., run it). If you decide to go this route, I would
strongly suggest looking at TextMate. I can send you a Stata bundle
for it, if you want.
