st: how to create a loop for all the feasible regressions in a varlist

Dear all,
Starting from a list of 4 variables, I need to:
- regress var1 on var2, var3, var 4
- regress var2 on var1, var3, var4
and so on..
Basically I need to create a loop where every time the dependent
variable is regressed on all the three others.
I have been trying to use the "foreach" command, but I cannot find the
right way to solve the issue. In fact if I type:
foreach x in Gasp PNC PUC PPT {
reg `x' Gasp PNC PUC PPT
}
the software, obviusly, every time returns an erroneous model (R^2 = 1),
because in each model the dependent variable is explained by itself..
The point is that I have no idea on how to remove the `x' variable from
the regressors list.
Thank you everyone in advance,
Stefano Lombardi
