Re: st: Setting general preferences using syntax

Rich,

This was a good lead. Now I know that I will need to create my own profile.do file to run when I start Stata. However, I am still trying to locate the syntax for setting my general preferences.

For example, if I wanted to set my opening font to courier 12, what syntax would I have to write in the profile.do file? Can you set things like fonts and colors using just syntax or do you have to use the menu system?

Thanks,

-- Mosi

I would like to create a .do file that I can run when I open Stata on the Unix server that will set all of my colors and fonts so that I do not have to do this manually each time.
