Your examples are logically also single-line commands. The
end-of-lines are commented out or made irrelevant.
What I meant was that -cn- as defined would not help with blocks of
command lines where you might have a desire to develop an alternative
to
capture noisily {
...
...
}
But the local macro approach will work fine here.
local cn "capture noisily"
...
`cn' {
...
...
}
As previously said, I don't recommend writing a program here. Using a
local macro is much superior, should you not like spelling out
"capture noisily". (I don't share the aversion either.)

Dear Nick,
about the -cn- program:
program cn
* no version number
capture noisily `0'
end
But that will work only as a prefix to single-line commands.

I'm not sure what you mean by "single-line commands," As far as I
can tell, it's working well with what looks to me like a two-line
command
(copy-pasted from an example I just ran):
cn arch `var' if inrange(date,mdy(1,1,2007),mdy(12,27,2012)) ///
, arch(1) garch(1)
It also appears to be working on commands written over several lines but
with a semi-colon delimit (this one had over 15 lines but I cut some
out).
#delimit ;
cn line `var'_ht_garch11 date
,
ylabel(, angle(0) grid)
xlabel(,format(%tdCY)labsize(small))
; #delimit cr
And thanks again.
