May depend on your Desktop Environment, but under X11 you should be
able to highlight a section of code in Emacs (or any other text
editor). 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).
