Re: RE: st: manipulate built-in stata commands

[mailjp@gmx.net]

is there an example of how to build a wrapper around some command to modify what it produces?
fact is i don't want to add functionality but want to remove some...nevertheless thanks for your help maarten! 
i actually want generate not to produce the line "(xyz changes made)".

thanks for your help!
