st: automatically label interaction terms

[Andrea Bennett <mac.stata@gmail.com>]

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone knows a user written Stata command which allows one  
to generate interaction terms, e.g. -female*age- or -female*group1-, - 
female*group2- and -female*group3-, so that the labels of each  
variable are used for the interaction terms (e.g. "female * age",  
"female * social class 3").

I just fear that at the end of the day, I will want to rename a few  
variables. If one could only rename one variable (the non-interacted)  
and the rest would be automatically generated, that would take away  
some replacing besides the fact that the do-file won't grow that much...

Looking forward to any inputs! Kind regards,

Andrea
