> I'm new to Mata, and just testing the waters.
>
> As I read through the first of the Mata programming books, it is not
> transparent to me how you take a macro /"varlist"/ and import the
> variables as a matrix in Mata. Perhaps it is different in
> non-interactive mode, but trying to use st_view and st_data
> interactively seems to require that I have all sorts of punctuation
> around each of the variable names, punctuation that cannot be preserved
> and passed on in macroland. Is there a quick way of taking the usual
> varlist macro and referring to it with st_data?

> Thanks.
