Thanks a lot for your reply and sorry for bothering
you again. Still I can't work it out. I just don't
know how to run a programe. I write such things like:
prog define Nick
                  display 'Hi there'
                  end

in a do-file and save the do-file, then I type
'do.....' in the command box to do the do-file, is it
right?

Thanks

Xiaotang
