The emply line is not meant to be there between "Jönköping" and
"Kronoberg"...

Just switch the delimiter temporarily:
*************
#delimit ;
local mynames "Stockholm Uppsala Södermanland Östergötaland Jönköping
Kronoberg Kalmar Gotland Blekinge Skåne Halland VästraGötaland
Värmland Örebro Västmanland Dalarna Gävleborg Västernorrland Jämtland
Västerboten Norrbotten" ;
#delimit cr
ma di
*************
Some text editors, such as UltraEdit, also feature a "word-wrap" which
renders long lines readable...

Thanks Martin and William for all your help. Very instructive.
One last question. -local mynames- contains lots of areas so it would be
nice to have some line-breaks (so it is not just one long row in my
do-editor).
local mynames "Stockholm Uppsala Södermanland Östergötaland Jönköping
Kronoberg Kalmar Gotland Blekinge Skåne Halland VästraGötaland
Värmland Örebro Västmanland Dalarna Gävleborg Västernorrland Jämtland
Västerboten Norrbotten"

Tomas may also want to read up on this issue in manual [U], section 18.3.9.,
where the "from the inside" evaluation of nested -macro-s is explained.

and that seemed to be a hit because Tomas then replied, "Perfect."
Given that, here's another, related solution. Start by defining
separate macros for each member of the list:
. local name1 "north"
. local name2 "south"
. local name3 "east"
. local name4 "west"
Now say we want to display the `i'th name. We can type:
. display "`name`i''
For instance, if `i' contained 3,
. local i = 3
. display "`name`i''"
east
That works because `name`i'' first expands to `name3' (Stata goes inside
and substitutes the contents of i for `i'), and then `name3' expands to
east in the usual way.
