Dear statalists, Is there a way to append a recording in the graph window? I have saved a recording and later I want to do something else based on the graph having been edited by the previously saved recording. I want to merge these two editing as a recording. How to do it ? I know I can first pause the recording and continue to record later. However, what I encounter is having saved one and do other edittings later if I find something else need to be done. Thank you!
