st: runing StatTransfer "set" command from Stata do-file

Dear all,
my trying to import some .xls files to Stata. I´m using
StatTtransfer11, and trying to automate the process, controlled from
my do file.
The problem is that I need to issue the StatTransfer command "set
WKS-NAME-ROW First-Row" before running the actual conversion
(StatTransfer command "copy").
As far as I can tell, there are two ways to send commands to StatTransfer:
- from the StatTransfer prompt (that blue window), typing specific
StatTransfer commands like "set" and "copy"
- from the operating system prompt with the "st" command. This is what
the Stata command "stcmd" uses to send commands to StatTransfer.
The problem seems to be that I can´t issue a "set" or other
StatTransfer commands from the OS prompt, only from the StatTransfer
prompt.
Does anyone knows how this could be solved?
regards
Lucas Mation
