Create directories (folders) as needed in your /Library/Application  
Support/Stata directory. If there is not an ado directory, create  
such a directory with 'new folder'. Open it and create the folder  
'plus'. Stata should automatically create the directories named a, b,  
c etc. as needed when you use 'ssc install' or 'net install.'
