st: Dropping variables in USE statement

Hi Statalist,
Is there a way to drop variables on the use statement? I am bringing
in Stata dataset with too many variables (transferred over from SAS
which is a pain to drop variables because I don't think I can drop
variables with a *).
Ideally I would like to process use DATASET, drop D4* D5* D6* etc
Anyway to approach this besides going back to the original dataset in SAS?
Thanks,
Will
