I sent a copy of the program directly to Clive, and his problem
disappeared. I surmise that somehow or other between my mailer,
Statalist and his mailer the code got mangled. That's why we have SSC,
of course.

I ran the code (directly from the command window) successfully in my
Stata 9.2, but then:
. sysuse auto
. lfitcimatrix price mpg \ weight length
invalid syntax
r(197);
I don't see what I have done wrong.
