Saying merely that something "does not work" is of no use. Instead
tell us what you have done to diagnose the problem, what you typed and
what Stata replied. Start by defining a very simple program and
making sure you understand how and where the files should be written:
file open t using ok.ado, write
file write t "prog ok" _n "di c(alpha)" _n "end" _n
file close t
type ok.ado
which ok
ok
The -type- command can be a useful diagnostic tool if you have saved a
file in a non-text format, and -which- can tell you if you have saved
a file in an inaccessible location.
