st: on-the-fly indicator at cutpoints of continuous variable

Dear Statalisters:
I'd like to model the following:
reg Y c.x1 c.x2 i.x3
where i.x3 takes on a value of 1 if x3<k, otherwise 0
this does not work:
reg Y c.x1 c.x2 i.(x3<k)
it is simple to create an indicator variable and include that in the regression, but is there a way to include an on-the-fly indicator in commands?
Apparently this is 'easy' in R. is there an equivalent in Stata?
Thank you,
George Hoffman
