In addition to Neil's comments,
1. There is no obvious gain from writing this as a program.
You might as well just run these commands in a do-file. Of course, this may be under development.
2. The line
xtprobit expdum 'x', re
will not work as the same character ' is used for both delimiters. You need
xtprobit expdum `x', re

If you are going to write it as a program then you should save it as
[filename].ado (not [filename].do as you are implying) and place it in
one of your systems -adopath-'s (to see what these are simply type
-adopath- in Stata.
See [U] 16-18 for greater details on "Do-Files" (Chapter 16)
"Ado-Files (Chapter 17) and "Programming Stata (Chapter 18).
