st: re: how to link the help file for a command to its immediate
< >
Michael said
I like this approach, and it echoes a thread from last week about
abbreviations. Will those new ado files be saved, or do they need to
be re-invoked for each Stata session? And, if it needs to be
re-invoked, could they all be launched by one do-file such as
"my_abbreviations.do"?
Well, if you save them in PERSONAL, they will be saved. You do not
need to invoke ado-files; that's what Stata does when you execute the
comamnd they define. Each ado-file defines a command, so no, you
cannot put more than one in a file. They must be in their own files
for this to work. (It is possible to have
---mike.ado---
program mike
...
end
program george
....
end
program bill
...
end
------------------
but then the george and bill commands are only accessible to program
mike, and not elsewhere.
