Yes, the string for commenting out carriage returns should be /// (I sometimes forget this as I normally use #delim ;because of the large number of multi-line commands routinely required by so many commands, especially in graphics.)

\\\ ? That really is backwards. as I guess Roger will realise instantly when he reads it. (I naturally make silly typos too; this one is perhaps excuse enough for a little joke.)

The statement #delim looks very confusing to me. The normal usage is either #delim ; followed by commands terminated by semicolons, or #delim cr followed by commands terminated by carriage returns. In the latter case, multi-line commands need to have the internal carriage returns commented out, eg by adding the string \\\ to the end of every line except the last in every multi-line command.* * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
