I am wondering whether there is a way to make Stata find executables
on its
own.
Windows can find a properly installed program on its own and it is smart
enough to use the extension to know which program to find. So if you type:
shell c:\mydir\my.pdf
at the Stata prompt, windows will launch Acrobat reader, which will then
display my.pdf.
The only downside of this technique is that you may see an open command
prompt window.
Best,
Steve
