st: Correct Procedure to download and Install user-written commands (WAS: Catplot and labsize of categorical labels)

[Thomas Speidel <thomas@tmbx.com>]

I realized I was using an old version of catplot, hence I believe this  
is why a call for the var1opts returned an error.  I tried to update  
it manually, but I'm afraid I ended up with two versions:

. which catplot
c:\ado\plus\c\catplot.ado
*! 2.0.0 NJC 28 May 2010
*! 1.1.2 NJC 11 February 2004

My version of Stata is not web-aware (for security reasons the machine  
where Stata is installed on have no internet connection).  So what is  
the correct procedure to remove a user-written command and download  
and install a new one? (I can download from another machine and copy  
files to Stata machine).

Thanks,
Thomas
