This will copy it to a buffer ring, then switch to your running xstata (either Alt-Tab or switch desktop if its on a separate desk-top) and use the left-right mouse simultaneous click to paste the code into the Command dialog box of Stata and hit Return. The only disadvantage to this that I've come across is that code commented out within a command won't be run properly, for example... logistic a b c /* d e f */, level(99) ...won't work if pasted. Whole lines of commented code are not a problem though, Stata will simply say that '/' is an invalid command and move onto the next line (it also ignores lines that have been commented out with a '*' at the first line).
