I agree with Nick, that the -nostop- option is a very dangerous
option, and I would not use it. -capture- is the much much much
saver alternative.

It means that the file "myfile.do" does not exist in your
current directory.

The way to do this is to create a .do file that does 
whatever you want to do, and store that .do file. This 
means that it has a name and is located in some directory.
Use -cd- to change your current directory to that directory.
Than use -do myfile.do, nostop- to run your .do file. 
However, the part -myfile.do- should ofcourse be replaced by
the name you used to for your .do file. However, I repeat
my earlier point that you should not use the -nostop- 
option, it is dangerous.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
