Ah, that is unexpected behaviour, though in my case it takes about 8
seconds.
There are three things you can do, that are both more convenient, and
avoid this problem. First, you can open the do-file editor and run it
from there, as described in
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html#work
Second, you can type in stata
do
http://www2.jura.uni-hamburg.de/instkrim/kriminologie/Mitarbeiter/Enzmann/Software/reprate.do
Or of course -do path/reprate.do- , where path the where the do file is
stored on your computer.
Third, you can store the three programs in separate files with the
extension ado instead of do in in your personal adopath. You can find
where that is by typing -adopath- within Stata. Once you have done
that, the programs will be directly available every time you use Stata
on that computer as any other Stata program.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
