st: Re: changing adopath and profile.do with mac OSX

<  >

Place profile.do in  "~/Library/Application Support/Stata" --that is  
your own /Library directory, rather than the machine's /Library  
directory. On my OS X machine (running Stata 10, but this has not  
changed) I get

  [5]  (PERSONAL)  "~/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/personal/"
  [6]  (PLUS)      "~/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/"

and those are the appropriate directories (even if you are the only  
user on the machine).
