There are lots of ways to do it, going back to
STB-14 os10 . . . . . . . . A method for taking notes during a Stata session
(help addnote, notefile if installed) . . . . . . . . . . . W. Rising
7/93 pp.10--11; STB Reprints Vol 3, pp.68--69
allows appending notes to a file without interrupting a
Stata session
if not earlier. One is to treat your do file as a new Stata dataset
with a single string variable and to use the string functions to
select lines of interest.
